This is a propaganda piece on behalf of Indian government. Fact is, the Indian army had invaded and occupied a Moslem state, and if not for the Nizam's conscientous desire to avoid war and bloodshed, it could be much worse. The subjugation of Hyderabad should be on the same page with Chinese conquest of Tibet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.165.96 (talk) 06:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't believe that the army of Hyderabad was expected "to put up fierce resistance" as said by the article

This page needs an objective look and I'd like to put an NPOV tag to it.

Agreed, this page appears definitely not to be NPOV. =/ 134.50.7.201 03:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I have added citation needed tags to the aftermath paragraph Bharatveer 11:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I added an NPOV tag to the section "Aftermath" because: 1. It did not sound very neutral and appeared to be lacking quite a bit of information, and 2. I don't have time now to try and sift through piles of sources. Hopefully others will see this and try to clarify, cite, and contribute. Rubber soul


I would like to add NPOV tag to the whole article. There are few terms like "what Govt of India gives is victor's story" which should not be added.

Some of the items even appear biased. One example is the part that tries to pass off as proven fact what can, at best, only be an allegation that Indian troops committed atrocities on communists during the aftermath. While the page is indeed informative, it seems like the author has not fully succeeded in not allowing his / her personal prejudices from creeping in. --203.199.198.152 11:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)203.199.198.152 11:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)Sagar sagar@tanksali.com

The History of Hyderabad article claims 200,000 Moslem deaths, which could be mentioned, to be NPOV, along with the role of airman Sidney Cotton. Hugo999 01:25, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I am a bit puzzeled by the idea that there was an INVASION of Hyderabad State. As I understand it from visiting that delightful city in 2003 there was an adjacent military cantonment at Secunderabad, which must in 1948 have had Indian Dominion Troops, all they had to do was move out to take charge. This is what seems to have happened. I would further wonder how useful the Nizam's government was to the ordinary citizen, bearing in mind the wealth that was taken to Australia, and the present opinion that Muslim States are failed states. I was troubled by the expensive garden ornaments in the graveyard of the royal family, which spoke of Muslim self agrandisement in death rather than concern for the people of the state. For those Muslims who will accuse me of Christian bias, I will point out that I have two Muslim chosen sonbs, on of whom comed from Hyderabad. The Reverend Peter M. Hawkins.
