Is it Telangana or Hyderabad associated with September 17?

Way back in history reveals that the erstwhile Hyderabad state consisting of 16 districts (8 Telangana districts, 5 Marathwada districts and 3 districts of Karnataka) had been under the rule of Nizam from 1724 to 1948, accounting for a period of 224 years. While India got its independence on August 15, 1947, the people of Hyderabad state got their independence on September 17, 1948 with the intervention of the then union home minister of India Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Conversely, following so many historical developments, Telangana state has been emerged as the 29th state of India only on June 2, 2014.

From the other end, so much of controversy has been created in the matter of September 17 celebrations. The BJP and Left parties have demanded for the official celebrations of the event. As opined by CPI Narayana, it might have been the interest of the BJP to give the celebrations a like chalk and cheese look. The same might have supposedly dragged the ruling government from the official celebrations. The area of the erstwhile Hyderabad state covered by present geographic Karnataka and Maharashtra are officially celebrating the day. So, there could have not been any problem for the ruling government to undertake the celebrations, officially.

But, the problem for the ruling government might be associated more or less with why it should be done officially once all previous governments have neglected the same. Also, September 17 has been made more popular in the name of Telangana rather than Hyderabad. It should have been actually supposed to be in the name of Hyderabad. The government might have considered avoiding controversies as more or less the matter is very sensitive. Personal opinions may differ from the general opinions, for sure. However, a responsible government has to be very diplomatic in such issues and the same has been adopted by the ruling TRS government. Of course, prevention is always better than cure!!
