First and foremost a very warm welcome to Mr. Bharadwaj, whose earlier twitter handle was True Indology and who actually is the reason for many of us to remain with Twitter. He has been banned several times, despite presenting facts, but that’s how Twitter is !! He is back as @BharadwajAgain and posted this heart rending tweet thread yesterday about the Jallianwala Bagh type massacre that happened in Bhagyanagar aka Hyderabad under the Nizam’s rule.
Hindus have been persecuted for the past 800 years ….. and if we have still survived then Hinduism is probably the voice of truth. I guess the reason we survive is because Hinduism isn’t a religion, as it allows each individual to live their life and search for meaning in their own way.
Hyderabad or Bhagyanagar’s Durbhagya
Read the tweet thread at this link – Jallianwala Bagh of South. Reposting it below.
Do you know about Jallianwala Bagh of South?
In 1948,Nizam’s police made 200 Hindus stand in a line & sh0t them dead.
Their crime? Refusal to pay Jizya tax. This happened in Bhairanpally.
While Jallianwala Bagh is taught in schools, Bhairanpally massacre is ignored.
Thread:
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’
mirchi9.com/politics/nizam-r…
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

Nizam also embarked on mass conversion drives. In his service was a man named Siddique who founded the Dindar movement. The Dindars were a band of robbers whose profession was loot and conversions. Siddique called himself an avatar of Basaveshwara and was funded by Nizam.
Siddique claimed that Nizam is praised in Vedas and Quran. He even said that Nizam was none other than Dharmaraja. He even made a prediction that Nizam would one day capture Delhi & raise Islamic flag on red fort.
Siddique converted thousands of Hindus with the help of Nizam.
Siddique predicted that all Hindus would convert to Islam & all Hindu idols would be destroyed.
He predicted that Gandhi & Nehru would convert. He warned of an upcoming genocide & exhorted Hindus to convert to escape genocide. Conversions were carried out in Government offices
Nizam also introduced a conversion offer for criminals: convert and you will be released from jails!
In this manner, thousands of criminals and prisoners converted to escape impending jail sentence. They were released from jail with a ready profession: they joined the Razakars
In this manner, there was a steady decline of Hindu population in Nizam’s kingdom.
In 1891, Hindus were 90.53 % of the population. When Osman Ali Khan came to power in 1911, they were 86.15%. At the end of his reign, they were reduced to just under 80%
In Nizam’s kingdom, Hindus were prohibited from building temples in “Muslim areas”.
Hindu temples were often desecrated but culprits NEVER punished.
Hindus were prohibited from performing public Kathas/Poojas while Muslims freely performed public prayers & converted Hindus.
Bhagyanagar Today
We have an Usman Lake and an Osmania University (of which am an illustrious alum 🙄), plus the world famous Salarjung Museum that I have visited several times enthusiastically.
I had no idea of this massacre … Mr. Owaisi’s brother famously asked for lights to be switched off and the police to be kept at bay so that Hindus can be shown their place. Indeed am sure that wish will be granted some day but am not sure if Hindus will be shown their place or the Owaisi brothers will be in their rightful homes made of reinforced steel.
We continue to call Bhagyanagar or Bagh Nagar (garden city) by its new name Hyderabad which has no connection to Bharat. Bhagyanagar existed for 10000 years before anyone following a desert cult came to this land where Gods walked the Earth.
To name a place after those who massacred our forefathers is a great way to pay homage to them. Don’t know what karmic price we all will pay :(:(.
Request to PM Modi – if we have to unshackle from our colonial past, we first need to change the history textbooks. We don’t have to whitewash anything, just present facts. Currently our children read fiction and altered facts in the name of history and it makes them appreciate the invaders and barbarians not our ancient cultural or spiritual heritage.
I actually broke out into cold sweat reading through the tweet thread …. this is recent history that has been effectively hidden from us. Don’t know what else lies hidden :(. Even now, the Nizam’s statue goes up on some Metro pillar effectively whitewashing his horrendous past. As I write this, a small re-enactment of these type of incidents is happening in Leicester as well. 🤬
#HinduLivesMatter #HinduPersecutionIsReal
We were never told about the horrific massacre of Hindus by the Moplahs in Kerala either. Or how Mohandas Gandhi asked the Hindus to exercise “tolerance” and lay down lives instead of fighting back to save themselves. This is well documented in the papers from that age as well as audio. For the so called Father of the Nation clearly Hindus were the unwanted step children !
