Razakars (Hyderabad)

Razakars (Hyderabad)

Razakars were a private islamic militia organized by Qasim Razvi to support the rule of Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII and resist the integration of Hyderabad State in India.

Conversely, the people of Telangana under the leadership of Swami Ramanand Tirtha, fought for the integration of state with rest of India. Eventually, the Indian army routed the Razakars and the group was disbanded after India annexed the state.

Qasim Razvi, the military chief of Hyderabad state, fled to Pakistan where he was granted asylum. Majlis party, a contemporay political party in the present Hyderabad owes its foundations to Qasim Razvi.
