Page 5/ Para 2/ Sub Heading Nizam; The Nizam (in the scheme of the book definite article is absent)
Page 34/ Para 2/ Line 1 "Telangana was under Muslim rule". This is a loaded statement. How the author characterised the reign as Islamic is not known. Arguably, this is a sweeping statement lacking in academic rigour
Page 34/ last para "Among them, the Hyderabad…..so on." There is no verb in this sentence.
Page 63/ Para 1/ line 5 "…there were nine rulers" The fact is there were 7 rulers
Page 64/ Para last/ last line "…And 17 districts…" It should be 16 districts; Khammam district was formed in 1953
Page 71/ Para 5 This para is repeated on page 80.
Page 73/ Para 4/ line 1 "The sixth Nizam is Mohd. Ali Khan." If it's correct, who is Mahboob Ali Khan?
Page 91/Para 2/Line 5 Burgula Narsimha Rao; will Narsing Rao agree for a name change?
Page 183/Para 4/line 1 "The people of the Andhra region expressed happiness on the institution or organization of United languages". Whoever cracks this sentence will be a contender for Noble Prize for literature
Page 447/Last Para/ Subheading "The beginning of…strike (evolution). "Preposterous! Since when strikes have come to be known as revolutions?
