Can anyone explain the part in red in the above post? How does an integrated Andhra Pradesh mean appeaseing the descendents of the razakars?
AP was formed by an agitation to create a copmposite Telugu state. This agitaiton was led by Potti Sriramulu who fasted unto death in 1953. However this demand for a composite state is quite old. In fact Savarkar writes in his letters to his brother circa 1912 about his fear that creating linguistic states could eventually create mini Indias.
The Telugus were divided by the Islamic conquests of Deccan. The Kakatiyas of Warangal were the paramount power and after their defeat by Malik Kafur they were subsequently annexed by the Bahmani ruler Muhammad Shah by taking Golkonda. This constitutes the Telegana region. The Andhra region was under the Rayas of Vijayanagar and developed as such. After the Vijayanagar collapse in early 1600s the state of Mysore was formed. In case of Telegana the Bahmani kigdom split into the Qutab Shahi dynasty based at Golkonda. These were supplanted by the Asf Jahi dynasty also called the Nizams after the defeat of Abul Hasan Tanesha by Aurangazeb. The Andhra region came under the British as part of the Northern Circars and the freedom movment developed there. The razakars who were supporters of the Nizam brutally suppressed the freedom movement in Telengana and had to be evicted under Operation Polo in 1948. The Telengana region was called Hyderabad State. As part of linguistic reorganizatio composite Andhra Pradesh was created in 1956.
So how does this constitute appeasement of razakars?
