A Historical Crossroad: The Integration of Hyderabad and Its Impact on Indian Nation-Building

Author(s) N. Mallesham

Abstract The struggle for the integration of Hyderabad State into the Indian Union post-independence represents a crucial chapter in India’s political history. The Hyderabad State Congress (HSC) played an instrumental role in this transition, advocating for democratic governance and the unification of the diverse territories under the rule of the Nizam. This paper delves into the formation and activities of the HSC, analyzing its strategies in mobilizing public opinion and political sentiment against the feudal regime of the Nizam, and how it fostered grassroots movements. Following India's independence in 1947, the HSC emerged as a significant force, leveraging both political negotiation and mass mobilization to address social inequalities perpetuated by the Nizam's rule. The paper examines the ideological framework and leadership of the HSC, including key figures such as Ranga Reddy and Swami Ramanand Tirtha, whose efforts were pivotal in expanding the Congress’s reach and influence within Hyderabad. Furthermore, the document highlights the significance of the Hyderabad State Congress in the broader context of national integration, contributing to the discourse on self-determination and the formation of a democratic state in the post-colonial period. By analyzing party dynamics, socio-political conditions, and responses from the Nizam’s administration, this paper illuminates the complexities of integrating Hyderabad into India, illustrating the wider implications for Indian politics in the mid-20th century.
