Abstract

The Indian government has announced that September 17th will be celebrated annually as "Hyderabad Liberation Day." The decision comes after Hyderabad did not gain independence until September 17, 1948, following India's independence in 1947. The government aims to honor the martyrs who liberated Hyderabad and inspire patriotism in the youth. The BJP has long advocated for the official celebration of this day, criticizing the Congress and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi for not recognizing it. Previously, the Ministry of Culture organized celebrations on September 17th, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah participating. However, the previous BRS government celebrated the day as "National Integration Day." [Extracted from the article]
