#Thread on Veer Savarkar's Presidential speech at Hindu Mahasabha's 21st Session at #Kolkata in 1939.
The topic of *forgotten Hindu Resistance in the Bhagyanagar's (Hyderabad) Nizam state* was narrated in detail by #VeerSavarkar in this speech.

"The most significant event for Hindus is the unarmed resistance of Hindus to the Nizam's (👇) anti-Hindu policies for the last 6 months. It was no less than a Dharmayuddha! It was a sacred story of courage & fortitude.

"Our #AryaSamaj brothers were at the forefront with about 10,000 Aryas joining the struggle. Their bravery has proved that the Yajna initiated by Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati, the 1st modern Hindu unity activist, will be maintained with more energy by his worthy followers."

"With over 5000 volunteers from Hindu Mahasabha, the Arya Samaj & Hindu Mahasabha led the opposition to anti-Hindu restrictions by Nizam. However, the contribution of all common Hindus was noted, & we'd have been unable to fight if not for their support & personal sacrifices."

..anti-Hindu riots there, because of absence of Congress 'certificate'. Congress did the same for anti-Nizam protests, and declared the Hindu struggle as "communal" & "anti-national"!
But this time, the pro-Hindutva front was clear in its objectives & principles.

Hindus were free from the obligation of blindly following the 'Church' of Congress Party, and that's why they enthusiastically joined the protests against Nizam's anti-Hindu regulations, and celebrated the Hindu Rashtra Din."
