Strive

14 August 1947...

They took all the pains to hide the tricolour  from the police.

Tomorrow was the day of their dream.

Every village was eager to hold and wave the flag, but brutality and punishment hold them back....

.....

.....

Early hours of 15 August 1947...

........

Those who were ready for the inevitable sacrifices, tried hoisting the tricolour at many public places...

The police caught them and hung them...

Women were stripped...

It was not India...

It was the then Telangana, Hyderabad.

PS: For Telangana, it took one more year and hundreds of lives, to finally join India. On September 17 1948, the state of Hyderabad got freedom from brutal Nizam's rule.

We are not separatists, we stood for Indian Integrity.

I wish this Dasara brings victory to the struggle of Telangana.
