SEPTEMBER 17 WORLD EVENTS
Operation Polo: Police Action: Telangana Liberation Day
75th Anniversary of Annexure of Hyderabad:
On September 17, 1948, the Nizam Of Hyderabad surrendered to the Indian Army a significant event in Indian history that shaped the present political map of India. After the Independence of India, the negotiations between the Indian Govt. and the Nizam failed, and he declared Hyderabad an independent state in June 1947. The Nizam was a Muslim ruler over a predominantly Hindu population. He was also worried about the loss of his autonomy and wealth if he joined India. The Indian Government was concerned about the Razakaras militia who were patronized by Nizam and was responsible for atrocities against the Hindu population in Hyderabad. On 13, September 1948, the Indian government launched Operation Polo, a military operation to annex Hyderabad. The Indian Army quickly overwhelmed the Hyderabadi forces, and the Nizam surrendered on September 17, 1948. This event marked the end of Nizam's rule over the princely state of Hyderabad and its integration into the Indian Union. Since, the last year 2022, the present Indian government has been celebrating this event as "Liberation Day" and marks this year as the completion of the 75th Anniversary of the "Telangana Liberation Day"
