Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in honor of Hyderabad Liberation Day, extended his greetings to citizens nationwide. This day marks the crucial merger of Hyderabad State with the Indian Union on September 17, 1948, a significant moment in India's history.
Hyderabad Liberation Day serves as a tribute to the relentless patriotism displayed by the people of what was once the princely state of Hyderabad, now encompassing Telangana, Karnataka, and the Marathwada region. Shah paid homage to the bravery of the martyrs whose sacrifices continue to propel the nation forward.
The annexation was achieved through a military operation known as 'Operation Polo,' initiated by then Home Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Despite resistance from the Nizam's regime and the Razakars militia, the region's determination ensured its integration into a unified India.
