Excerpt: The liberation of Hyderabad in September 1948 by "Hyderabad Police Action" (code-named "Operation Polo") was the operation by the Indian armed forces that ended the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad and led to the integration of the princely state of Hyderabad into the Indian Union. The operation was necessitated as the princely State of Hyderabad under Nizam Osman Ali Khan, Asif Jah VII, decided to not join either India or Pakistan after the partition of India. The Nisam's defiance was backed by Qasim Razvi's armed militias, known as Razakars and had the moral support of Pakistan. When all attempts to persuade the Nizam to act friendly towards India failed, and wary of a hostile independent state right in the middle of India, Deputy Prime Minister Sardar Patel decided to annex the state of Hyderabad. He sent the Indian army and the Hyderabad State Forces were defeated within five days. At that time, Hyderabad state had some 17 polo grounds, the largest number in India. Hence the name "Operation Polo". The State of Hyderabad, located over most of the Deccan Plateau in southern India, was established in 1724 by Nizam-ul-Mulk Asif Jha after the collapse of the Mughal Indian Empire. As was the case in several Indian royal states, the Nizam was a Muslim, while a majority of the subject population was Hindu. In 1798, Hyderabad became the first Indian royal state to accede to British protection under the policy of Subsidiary Alliances instituted by Arthur Wellesley. When the British finally departed from the Indian subcontinent in 1947, they offered the various princely states in the sub-continent.
