'Bangladesh on the way to Hyderabad'
I wrote a book in the late nineties, the name of the book was 'Hyderabad Tragedy and Today's Bangladesh'. As far as I know, it was the first history book written in Bengali language about the occupation of Hyderabad in India. There, I raised the history of how India occupied Hyderabad and expressed my fear that the fate of Bangladesh will also follow the path of Hyderabad! The book was published by Bangladesh Cooperative Book Society Ltd. The book is now out of print and out of print. Maybe not necessary! As a reason, the book dealers may think that India has occupied Hyderabad and wiped the name 'Hyderabad' from the map of the world today! Who will read these books!
But I believe history cannot be erased. Soon the history of Hyderabad may be returning to Bangladesh. So it was very important and necessary for every Bangladeshi to know the blue print history of Hyderabad occupation. The history of Hyderabad wants to tell many things to the people of Bangladesh, wants to inform, wants to warn! History never disappears!
What was Hyderabad Tragedy and Today's Bangladesh in the book
Hyderabad, the wonder of the world, the hills of Jyoti, the birthplace of the 'Kohinoor' diamond, the daughter of the diamond-rich Golconda. Godavari, Krishna, Tungabhadra, Purna, Bhima, Penganga, Wardha, Musi, Pranhita Rivers in Sujla Sufla country Hyderabad.
The famous Ajanta-Ellora Caves. Aurangabad, Osmanabad city. Hyderabad is rich in heritage of historical forts like Golconda, Gulberg, Warangal, Raichur, Parenda, Naldurg etc. Hyderabad is rich in valuable ore resources like diamond, gold, iron, coal, mira etc. Hyderabad, with the grandeur of five hundred years of Muslim rule, including the Mecca Masjid, the four-minar Soudh Masjid, today is like a lamp extinguished in Nijhum Gorasthan, nameless, the Indian-administered Telangana state!
Hyderabad was the largest of the native states, larger (82,696 square miles) than the size of Bangladesh. The country was considered a kind of independent state even under the British Empire. Hyderabad had an elected democratic government. It had its own currency, army, law courts, judiciary, high court, customs department.
It had its own university, had its own language. It had its own independent flag, its own national anthem, its own ambassador to each country, and even its own representative in the United Nations. In other words, all the ranks of an independent country belonged to Hyderabad. Moreover, the Government of India Act of 1935 granted independent status to Hyderabad, stating that the status and normal functions of native states could not be transferred to independent India without the consent of the states. Still, Nazi Hindutva India, ignoring all international laws and norms, held an army rally in Hyderabad and occupied the country, but still does not recognize it. They say that at the request of the people, police action has been consolidated in the country!
How India captured Hyderabad:
If we look at the history of Nazi Hindutva occupation of the neighboring states of India, it will be seen that first they created discord and chaos within the country through some agents. Then take that opportunity to take over the country by using force on the weak country. During the partition of 1947, as we have seen, in Trivandrum, Jodhpur, Bhopal, Junagadh and Hyderabad. Later in Sikkim.
Back to Hyderabad. Since the birth of Muslim-ruled Hyderabad, the people of the country never knew what communalism was. India started sowing the seeds of communalism by forming branches of Hindu Mahasabha, Arya Samaj etc. in Hyderabad.
Against the traditional national anthem, on Gandhiji's instructions, his disciples Ramananda Tirtha, Narasimha Rao (former Prime Minister of India), YB Chavan etc. started a movement to make 'Vandematram' the national anthem.
A language movement was started to demand the introduction of Hindustani instead of Urdu, Hyderabad's own national language, which has been in use since the Mughal period. State Congress president Ramananda Tirtha declared the border areas of Hyderabad a free zone, through an armed uprising involving armed cadres in the border areas.
Then, the class struggle ended the dress rehearsal for the takeover of Hyderabad by handing over arms to the so-called communists and creating the Telangana rebellion! Now it is the turn of the final staging of the occupation of the country.
In the first phase, Hyderabad was destabilized from within and the people divided and weakened through treacherous politicians and intellectuals, so that Hyderabad fell with the slightest blow of the army.
Dear reader! If you review the plan or blue-print of the aggressor India's occupation of Hyderabad, don't you find several parallels with the current socio-economic politics of Bangladesh?
Independence of Pakistan was declared on 14th August 1947. Hyderabad also declared independence on the same day. Racist Hindu leaders could not accept the independence of Hyderabad! Jawaharlal Nehru threatened, 'If and when I deem it necessary, an army operation will be launched against Hyderabad.' Commenting on Nehru's boastful statement, on 30 July 1948, the then British opposition leader Winston Churchill said in the Commons,
"Nehru's threat to the language, which Hitler might have used the devouring of Austria" (B K Bawa. The last Nizam).
After creating chaos inside the country, India finally planned an army operation to capture Hyderabad. Lt. J. E. M. Gordad, GSO Southern Command was tasked with preparing the plan of attack. He was given —
1) An armored Bgrade.
2) Third Cavalry and Ninth Battalion of 17 Dogra Regiment.
3) 3 more infantry battalions including 9th Infantry Battalion.
4) 4 additional infantry battalions.
5) 3 regiments of field artillery and one anti tank regiment.
6) 18 Cavalry Service Maintenance Troops.
7) A large number of Foreman and Stewart tanks.
8) Royal Indian Air Force!
Hyderabad on the other hand had only-
1) 12 thousand soldiers.
2) 8 25 pounder guns.
3) 3 regiment army vehicles.
4) 10,000 police and custom forces, and some janbaz private rezakar forces.
On September 11, 1948, when the beloved leader of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, died, the entire Muslim nation was in mourning, the Indian villains
chose the right time to attack Hyderabad. On 13 September 1948, the Indian Army, led by J. J. N. Choudhury, launched a three-pronged campaign towards Hyderabad. The operation was named 'Operation Polo'. After only 5 days of fighting on 18 September 1948, Major General Al Idroos, commander of the Hyderabad forces (without informing the Nizam) surrendered to the Indian forces.
In this way, the lamp of freedom of independent Hyderabad was extinguished forever! Today the name Hyderabad has been abolished and the name Telangana has been given by the Hindutva. The vultures have fragmented the independent country, dividing it into states like Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, etc. The name of Hyderabad is not left on the map of the world!
Indian journalist VT Rajasekhar wrote in an article, "The great inability of the Muslims was that they were not able to understand the mind of the Nazi Hindus". Even if the Muslims of Bangladesh are supposed to realize the truth of the words today, they are sitting with arms raised considering India as an ally even in Saperchai! Today they have come to the edge of the deep abyss in love with life, but they are still unconscious. Now it's time to wipe out Bangladesh like Hyderabad with a small blow!
How do the people of Bangladesh believe that India is their friend?
India was never a friendly country of Bangladesh. I have presented many proofs of it in my various writings. It is not possible to reproduce it locally. I would like to mention only two examples to refresh the memory.
From 1947 to 1950, Jawaharlal Nehru planned to take over the then East Pakistan (today's Bangladesh) by carrying out police action 3 times. This information was leaked by Mr. Nirod C Chowdhury in one of his articles. Jaiprakash Narayan suggested to enter the army and absorb East Pakistan. Only Nehru - Jayaprakash! Patel said 'East Bengal should come to our feet within 6 months'. From 1947 to the present Modi era, India has proven itself as a greedy, extreme Hindutva communal country at every step! Still, Bangladesh, a country of 90% Muslims, says that India is its 'friend'! The Prime Minister of Bangladesh (India engaged) said, "I will remember what I gave to India all my life". The Foreign Minister said, "India-Bangladesh relationship is like husband and wife"!
Therefore, it is preferable to have the right of the husband in the property of the wife. That is why all the rivers of Bangladesh belong to India! Indian truck fleet is running on the roads of Bangladesh! Railways open to India! India's free right to seaport established! The sea coast of Bangladesh is under the surveillance of India. From the head of Bangladesh Bank to the secretary of the ministry, most of the posts are in the hands of Indian operators! Violation of Indian cadres in police administration up to the village level. Their weapons are working openly to kill Muslims in crossfire!
Muslim youth of the country are unemployed, while millions of Indians are working in this country, doing business and smuggling money to India. India is now the largest recipient of remittances from Bangladesh.
Almost all newspapers and television in the country are controlled by India.
Within the country, several organizations and NGOs named 'ISCON', 'Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity' etc. have spread terror among the majority of Muslims by occupying the houses of Muslims, torture, killing etc. In 98% Muslim countries, eating beef is being banned in university halls! Obstacles are being created with girls' hijab. These are the daily news. Even then it is said that Bangladesh is an independent sovereign state!
BJP guru VD Savarkar defined a Hindu in 1923 as, “A Hindu is a man who regards India, which stretches from the Indus to the sea, as his fatherland, his holy land and the birthplace of his religion.” India-flattering Awami League leaders, however proxies of Hindutva India to stay in power. No matter how much India sings, no matter how much it preaches that India is our friendly country, India has not been able to set an example of friendship. Indian brokers want to brainwash the people by simulating the 1971 war of independence, it is time to inform them that India did not launch an army campaign in 1971 for our freedom, their intention was to break and weaken the powerful Pakistan, and make East Bengal called Bangladesh as 1947. Transforming the erstwhile hinterland or tabedar state of India, which is today's reality.
India has surrounded the country of 17 crore Muslims by water, land, sky and sea and brought it to the brink of destruction. Today there is a need for renaissance, a search for true friends, and a need to become strong in self-love. Call the exploited people of Bangladesh! Wake up strong before it fades away! Our beloved Prophet (PBUH) has taught us, "Speaking the truth against the tyranny of oppressors under the influence of power, and spreading the truth is the best Jihad." Let us all engage in that Jihad together in this Ramadan. Save our beloved country from the hands of hateful evil! Disappear like Hyderabad. Before leaving, let us protect the holy country of two and a half lakh mosques, our national mosque, Baitul Mukarram, from the impure touch of impure people like Hyderabad or its holy Charminar Mosque! If the faith of 18 crore Muslims is united, it is not difficult to achieve victory against any big power by the grace of God.
