Distorted View Label[edit]

Why is this page labeled distorted view? Because of the very type of simplistic Qasim Razvi was the leader of a militant (meaning private persons carrying weapons) group that turned violent around the time the union of India was formed. There were several acts of murder committed by the Razakars that have been documented. ^[1].
The Razakars acted as an additional army within the then Hyderabad State. They were effectively no better than the Nazis before Hitler was made the Reich Chancellor. Agreed the Razakars never made it to power due to the accession of Hyderabad to the Union of India. But these guys had a clear communal agenda- the accession of a territory that was majority Hindu to Pakistan- a state that had declared itself a Islamic state and had experienced Anti-Hindu riots during the Partition of India. I agree that even the Union of India had anti-muslim riots of the same scale as pakistan, the situation would have been extreme if the majority population of a state had had state sanctioned mass murder against them. Now I am sure that there might be apologists of this guy saying he was a great cleric and all that. But this does not take away the dubious role this man had during the last year of the existence of the Nizam's government. I think his role is well documented by neutral historians as well. So I propose that the label of distorted be removed from this article-- it is the correct view.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.23.44.53 (talk • contribs) 26 April 2008

"Why is this page labeled distorted view?" Because of the very type of simplistic and emotive adjectives and analogies that, as an example, are contained in the above paragraph! Nowhere in the above or in the main Wikipedia page is any real reference made to the context of the relationship of Hyderbad to India prior to, during or following partition. No mention is made of the extent of the systemitised Communist agitation along the border of Hyderbad prior to the annexation by India. No mention is made of the fact that while Hyderbad was governed by Muslims, a majority of landowners were Hindu and that the lower classes were in fact being maintained in subservience by Hindu landlords.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ojeronimo88 (talk • contribs) 11:57, 22 July 2010

The page gives only one sided version. Although Rizvi was pro independent Hyderabad State, he advocated reasonable place for Hindus. He was instrumental for inclusion of cabinet rank ministers from Hindus in the Nizam's government. The Hindus were flourishing in their businesses, trade and agriculture. In fact the Hindus had the monopoly in the agriculture and trade professions. The Nizam's government had Hindus appointed as mali and police patels at village levels even with razakar movement. The razakars of Rizvi did try to check the Hindu factions whom they suspected of conspiring to create chaos in the state. He was an staunch muslim but was not communal. The Nizam never allowed him to cross his limit and maintained his secular control. the Nizam used to call Hindus and Muslims his two eyes. The Hindus were always in majority in schools where education was available in Telugu and Urdu mediums.^[2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.185.77.40 (talk) 16:32, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

POV text[edit]

Razvi was instrumental in organizing and leading anti-Hindu pograms in Hyderabad and surrounding rural areas. Old Hyderabadis still have memories of what Hindus went through in 1948. Possessed with the idea of installing some kind of Islamic Caliphate, Razvi steadfastly stood between Hyderabad's accession to India.

it should rest here.User talk:Yousaf465
