Bahadur yar jung biography of mahatma

The September 17th anniversary of the ‘Police Action’, which led to the integration of the princely state of Hyderabad in 1948, has become increasingly contentious with selective use of history by political parties to further their current polarising agenda. Lost in the din is nuance and context which allows us to see the complex socio-political reality behind the binaries. There were many instances where the contending groups came together and cooperated. Similarly, there were many figures of the nationalist movement who were universally admired in Hyderabad.

This article focuses on one such instance by showing how individuals can rise above the divides and be a force for unity and cooperation.

When I was researching for my book: "Hyderabad - Memoirs of a City", I came
across a story that a certain noble, Nawab Akbar Yar Jung had, in a speech
delivered in the Thirties, referred to Lord Krishna as a "Propher" of India
