The State of Hyderabad officially acceded to the Indian Union in 1948 following a military operation code-named ‘Operation Polo’.

Operation Polo led to the integration of Hyderabad state into India in September 1948.

Initially, the Nizam of Hyderabad, Osman Ali Khan, wanted to remain independent or join Pakistan. The Indian government viewed Hyderabad’s geographical location as a threat to national integrity. Following a breakdown in negotiations and increasing internal unrest, the Indian army was sent in, resulting in the state’s accession.
