“Modi ! Tasmaat Jaagratah!”
(Headline in Eenadu of 28-04-2022)
Dr T.H.Chowdary*
While addressing the 21st Plenary session of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Sri K. Chandrasekhara Rao garu (Chief Minister of Telangana State) challenged the Union government, denounced all its policies, and warned Sri Narendra Modi. He dared Sri Modi to show a single achievement of which India ca be proud; called for new economic policy, new development policy, new agricultural policy, new social welfare and justice policies, new everything (but significantly not for a new government in Telangana) . His tone, challenges, and defiances make us recall Kasim Razvi’s speeches all derogatory to India and defamatory Hindus, especially Sardar Patel. Razvi determined and bent the Nizam to rule Hyderabad state as a Muslims’ sovereign Islamic state. He declared that sovereignty vested in Muslims and the Islamic Nizam’s armies would fly the Nizam’s flag on the Red Fort in Delhi. He asserted that soon the waters of Bay of Bengal would wash the feet or Nizam ! and the Rayalaseema districts once ceded to the British, would be repossessed by the Nizam.
2. In November 1947, Razvi met Sardar Patel in Delhi . Here is part of the conversation .
‘Why don’t you let Hyderabad remain independent?’ asked Razvi.
‘I have gone beyond all possible limits. I have conceded to Hyderabad what I did not concede to any other State,’ returned Sardar.
‘But I want you to understand the difficulties of Hyderabad, ‘ pursued Razvi.
‘I don’t see any difficulty, unless you have come to some understanding with Pakistan, was Sardar’s reply.
“If you do not see our difficulties, we will not yield,’ cried Razvi working himself up to a state of excitement. We shall fight and die to the last man for Hyderabad.
“How can I stop you from committing suicide if you want to? Sardar blandly replied.
‘You do not know the Muslims of Hyderabad; repeated Razvi. ‘We shall sacrifice everything for our independence.”
3. On 31st March 1948, at the end of “Weapons Weak, addressing a rally of his Razaakars, Razvi ranted:
Hyderabad is an Islamic State. the Indian Union is trying to wipe out this Muslim rule from the Deccan. Remember that there are four-and-a-half crores of Muslims in the Dominion, looking to us to raise the banner of this Islamic State...
“Power has come to the hands of the Indian Union after one thousand years They are not capable of ruling. that is the reason why they lost it to the Muslims . Now, when that power has come to them, they think they can browbeat us and terrorise us by bullying and blustering...
“When once the Indian Union makes any aggression on us, remember the 41/2 crores of Muslims will raise the banner of revolt. We will give back in the same coin and speak to them in the same language that they will understand...
( In addition to Muslims all over India, “federalists” led by DMK’s Stain, TMC’s Mamata, RJD’s Lalloo and son Tejasvi, Samajwadi’s Akhilesh Yadav, (renegade) Shiv Sena’s Uddhav Thackeray .Tukde-tukde Marxists Yechuri, Brinda Karat, D. Raja and Narayana, AAP’s Kejriwal, AIMIM’s Owaisi will raise the banner of revolt…)
4. On June 10, 1948, Razvi raved,
“ Following the example of Muslims of early days they should not remain content with the small piece of Pakistan ... . We are re-writing the map of India by bringing together a union of Jumna and Musi ( the river which flows through by Hyderabad). We are the grandsons of Mahmood Ghaznavi and the sons of Babar (were they Indians or foreigners). When determined, we shall fly the Asaf Jahi flag on the Red Fort.
‘They (the Muslims ) would not be content with one Pakistan in the Deccan, ‘‘ They would knit India and the world into Pakistan . Did not their forebears do the same thing 1,300 years ago?’ he concluded”.
All the words in quotes are from the book “End of Era” by K.M. Munshi published by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.
5. Sri KCR’s speech on 27 April 2022, and its tone of defiance to the serried ranks of TRS men and women challenge very much resemble that of the Razakar’s salar, Kasim Razvi, The contempt for and contest with Narendra Modi was heralded on 27 April 2022.
6. Sri KCR has been performing a number of yagnas and also built magnificent temples in Yadadri for Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy and Lord Shiva. He is befriending the rabidly anti-Hindu Islamist All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslameen (AIMIM) and its supremo Sri Asaduddin Owaisi in order to secure the votes of the Muslims enblock for his party. In the company of the successor to the Razakars, it is not surprising that he is speaking the language of Kasim Razvi who challenged the might of the Indian Union in general and Sardar Patel, the Home Minister and the Iron Man of India in particular . We will see where his contestation and confrontation with the Indian Union and Sri Modi in the name of federalism will lead him, hopefully not unlike Kasim Razvi and Rajakars. (837 words)
