Summary: "The story this book follows begins on August 15, 1947. As the new nation-states of India and Pakistan prepared to negotiate land and power, the citizens of the princely state of Hyderabad experienced the unravelling of an intense political conflict between the union government of India and the local ruler, the Nizam of Hyderabad. The author explores how the state of Hyderabad was struggling to produce its own tools of cultural renaissance and modernity in the background of the union government's deployment of the central army, the Nizam's idea of 'Azad Hyderabad' and the Telangana armed struggle fostered by leftist parties. With evidence from the oral histories of various sections-both Muslims and non-Muslims-and a wide variety of written sources and historical documents, this book captures such an intense moment of new politics and cultural discourses"-- Provided by publisher.
