[edit] Distorted View Label

Why is this page labeled distorted view? Qasim Razvi was the leader of a militant (meaning private persons carrying weapons) group that turned violent around the time the union of India was formed. There were several acts of murder committed by the Razakars that have been documented. [1].
The Razakars acted as an additional army within the then Hyderabad State. They were effectively no better than the Nazis before Hitler was made the Reich Chancellor. Agreed the Razakars never made it to power due to the accession of Hyderabad to the Union of India. But these guys had a clear communal agenda- the accession of a territory that was majority Hindu to Pakistan- a state that had declared itself a Islamic state and had experienced Anti-Hindu riots during the Partition of India. I agree that even the Union of India had anti-muslim riots of the same scale as pakistan, the situation would have been extreme if the majority population of a state had had state sanctioned mass murder against them. Now I am sure that there might be apologists of this guy saying he was a great cleric and all that. But this does not take away the dubious role this man had during the last year of the existence of the Nizam's government. I think his role is well documented by neutral historians as well. So I propose that the label of distorted be removed from this article-- it is the correct view.
