What was their role…
Dr T.H.Chowdary*
The illustrious working president of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) statement giving communist leaders like Naraynaa, Yechuri , Veerabhadram, Chada Venkat Reddy have been of late asserting, tauntingly that the BJP had no role in the liberation or integration of the Nizam’s Hyderabad state in Sept 1948. It is wonderful rhetoric and assertion which absolutely ridiculous .
· What was the role of the TRS and the communists in First War of India’s independence in 1857.
· What was the role of the TRS in the freedom struggle of India and in particular the liberation and integration of Nizam’s Hyderabad state with India.
· What was the role of the communists in India’s Quit India movement in 1942? And their contribution to the struggle of India’s for freedom? In particular can the communists say that they had not characterized Subhas Chandra Bose and INA as running dogs of Japanese militarism and Anglo - American imperialism.
· Did not the communist party welcome the Firman of the Nizam issued on 6 June 1947 that on the 14/15 of Aug 1947 when the paramountcy of the British over the Indian Princes’ States expires he would be an independent sovereign king ?
· Did not since then the Razakars, led by Kasim Razvi, the President of the Majlis Ittehadul Muslamin (Ittehad) go soft with the communists in Telangana and was not Maqdoom Mohinuddin, the Communist leader contacted by Kasim Razvi?
· Did not the communist party instruct its cadres not to cooperate with the Indian Army marching into the Hyderabad state on the 13th of Sept 1948 ?
· Did not the Communists receive from the Razakars their weapons after the surrender of the Hyderabad army to Gen Chaudhry on the 17 Sept 1948?
· Did not the communist guerrillas who liberated about 3000 villages in Nalgonda and Warangal aspire to defeat the weak independent Nizam and his armies and convert Telangana into Yenan of China and depose the Nizam establish a communist state which would expand all over India finishing the Nehru regime which was characterized as the running dog of Anglo-American imperialism ?
· Did not the communist guerrillas in Telangana fight with the Indian army and the Malabar Special Police for 3 years from 1948 to 1951 ?
· Did not a delegation of Comrades Ajoy Ghosh , S.A Ddange, Chandra Rajeswara Rao and Makineni Basavapunnaiah secretly go to Moscow and have parleys with their master Stalin ?
· Were they not advised by Stalin to stop fighting and sue for peace ?
· Did not CPI call for peace talks and was not their demand rejected outright by the then Home Minister of India (Govind Vallabh Pant)?
· As per Stalin’s advice did they not forge the Peoples Democratic Front (PDF) headed by Dr N M Jaisurya, ( the son of Sarojini Naidu) and contest the elections to India’s parliament and Hyderabad State Legislature in 1951 -52?
· Is this record of the communists not anti-Indian and slavishly Stalinist COMINFORM
2. All these statement parties and “leaders” and worthies in unison with Asaduddin Oweisi of AIMIM are questioning the role of the BJP in the struggle against the Nizam and Razakrs before Sept 1948
3. Don’t these worthies, habitual statement givers know that there was no BJP in the 1940s in India? The Jana Sangh the fore- runner of the BJP was founded by Syama Prasad Mukherji in 1951. How could 1951 party take part in any struggle against the Nizam before 1948 ? The Jana Sangh was dissolved to merge with the Janata Dal forged by Dr Jaiprakash Narayan in 1977. The Janata Dal became Jhagada Dal and disintegrated in 1979. The Jana Sangh which earlier merged in the Jhagda Dal was revived in 1980 as the Bharatiya Janata party (BJP )
4. While this is the history of the communists who now unsolicited serve the TRS are astoundingly ahistorically asking what was the BJP’s part in the struggle against Nizam’s Hyderabad. Intelligent and inquisitive Indians should be able to judge the quality and integrity of those who are now falsely asserting, “ the BJP had no part in the liberation of Hyderabad or its integration with India”.
5. Communist Party of India passed a resolution in 1942 that India was made up of multiple nations, a minimum of 16 nations. The CPI presented a proposal to the Cabinet Mission in 1946 that India should be divided into 17 separate sovereign nations. In 1947 they characterized the Nehru government anti-labour and bourgeoisie Stalin declared on Feb 9, 1951 . “We will not accept the present situation in India till socialist revolution succeeds there”. The CPI in Telangana and some provinces, took to armed insurrection under B.T Ranadive as Secretary of CPI.
6. The latest Communist and Congress exercise for suppression of uncomplimentary facts is about the participation of Rashtriya Sangh Sevaks ( RSS) in the 1963 Republic Day parade in Delhi at Nehru’s invitation. Senior (!) Congress leader Veerappa Moily says, (Indian Express 21/9/22) that Nehru did not mention about this fact of invitation to the RSS in his Autobiography ! He is so ignorant as to believe and say that Nehru wrote ( or revised) his Autobiography in 1963 ! The Autobiography was written in 1936 and its reprint was in 1942 . Obviously, Nehru could not have written in 1936 or 1942 about an event in 1963. (880 words)
