Recently, a portrait of Nizam has been installed on pillars of the Hyderabad Metro rail.
Telangana CM has praised Nizam multiple times in his speeches.
He even credited Nizam for 'Telangana Development'
https://t.co/9nQ2RJ4m3m This thread intends to set this record straight.
Such glorification of Nizam hides that his rule was the darkest chapter in history of Deccan.
Nizam's dark history includes a genocide of his Hindu subjects.
Historians estimate that Nizam's police&Razakars massacred 100,000 Hindus before Sardar Patel annexed Hyderabad in 1948
Let us start with Nizam Osman Ali Khan himself.
Nizam was a Jihadi whose avowed intention was destruction of Hindus.
In his own poem, he writes
"Mai Pasban-e-din hoon Kuffar ka jallad hoon"
"I am the protector of Islam and a butcher/executioner of Kaffirs (Non-Muslims)".
Nizam kept around 360 women as his concubines. Most of these women were Kafirs (Non-Muslims) abducted in raids.
His slave network was so vast that he even purchased 10-12 year old Non-Muslim girls from Nuristan (Afghanistan) as sεx slaves.
In Nizam's Hyderabad,Mµslims were 13% of population.
But they enjoyed 77% of Gazetted government jobs. 88% of higher level government officers and 82% of lower level were Mµslims. Hindus were hardly represented.
Yet, 97% of state revenue came from Hindus.Hindus were overtaxed.
Nizam was an admirer of Hitler. He believed Hindus deserved to be treated like Jews in Nazi Germany.
There was a problem.Hindus were not a minority like Jews in Germany.
Nizam sought to reduce Hindu population by persecution, importing foreign Muslims & encouraging conversions.
To reduce Hindu majority, Nizam imported 8 lakh foreign Muslims. These include Arabs & Afghans. They were given all benefits of state.
Like other Muslims, these foreign imports were given rights to keep weapons. However, Hindus were demilitarized and not allowed to keep weapons.
These foreign Muslims like Arabs formed a big chunk of Nizam's army.
Even his commander in Chief, Sayyid El Edross was an Arab.
Most of these Arabs stayed back. Lakhs of Yemeni Arabs found today in Barkas(Hyderabad) are descendants of Nizam's armies
