==Transition from princely state to province of India==
The information here focuses on trivialities and emphasizes some things (communist & muslim militias) that have very little to do with the actual transition. I strongly suggest seeking out and referencing non-Indian sources of information on this transition to avoid local bias (as feelings still run high on this topic). <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 17:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== POV tag ==

I have added the {{tl|pov}} tag to this page because of statements like this:
:"''His weakness for women and the consequent vices have impoverished him and he now lives by selling the bequeathed property in Hyderabad in periodic instalments. Much of his wealth has been lost in giving alimonies and maintenance to his divorced ex-wives. The case of former Miss Turkey Ms. Manolya Onur, the third officially divorced wife of the present 'Nizam', was the toast of Indian tabloids in 2006. She succesfully defended her rights in an Indian Court and won a judgement against the 'Nizam'.''"

I don't know much about this, but such a statement needs to be first referenced, and section written in a Nuetral point of view. Regards, -- ] 01:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


Have specifically added the POV tag to the After the British Rag section, for statements such as: "''the brits very cunningly left the choice of unification with the local rulers.''" "''The Razakars, a motley group of Islamic bigots''" and "'' The Indian government, in a deft act of political maturity and statesmanship, appointed the humbled and mellowed Nizam as the Rajpramukh(Governor) of Hyderabad, a title which he retained till 1956.''"

Currently, the whole Article explains Hyderabad State only in the view of politics and Geography.
Culture should include subtopics of
* Language
* Customs
* Traditions
* Religion
* Art and Architecture

I would appreciate people collecting matter from Genuine websites on traditions, customs of the people of Hyderabad State those days.
The Article "Hyderabadi Muslims" signifies the culture from Hyderabad State and New Hyderabad too,
But this article on culture should be based on both Hyderabadi Hindus and Muslims only from the era of "Hyderabad State".
The article should be neutral based on common mans culture and free from political culture and political history.

Furthermore, there is nothing even remotely non-NPOV about "preceding MIM/Razakar atrocities" when this is well known and was referenced in my edit. Please do not attempt to blank out sections of the article to tailor a desired image of the event. Misplaced Pages must be NPOV. Thank you.

With reference to Jeff's "references needed", I would like to point out that I have added relevant references.

Forced annexation

Seems like cherry picking sentences from Sherman Taylors reference is acceptable however as soon something is added which is already in the source which does not go with the justifications of the annexation its regarded as unsourced "On 13 September 1948, therefore, the Government of India declared a state of emergency, and sent its troops into Hyderabad State. During the ‘police action’, the Indian Army entered Hyderabad with the objective of forcing the Nizam to re-install Indian troops in Secunderabad to allow them to restore order in the state. The Nizam surrendered in four days, and the Government of India appointed Major-General J.N. Chaudhuri as Military Governor.

Hyderabad's location in the middle of the Indian union, as well as its diverse cultural heritage, was a driving force behind India's annexation of the state in 1948.

This and the repeated insertion of "country" (see #Country) despite consensus to the contrary is the handiwork of socks from the Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Magichero1234 network. Be wary of these and similar additions to the article. Gotitbro (talk) 11:46, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
