The State and Central governments seem to be in combative mood to officially observe Hyderabad Liberation Day on September 17 this year. This is the first time that the day is being celebrated officially by both the governments.
The demand for celebrating Liberation Day has been in the air for almost seven decades, but did not fructify as political parties remained indecisive about it for various reasons. Interestingly, the event is celebrated in the Hyderabad-Karnataka region in Karnataka and the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, which formed part of the erstwhile princely State, but not in Hyderabad.
