A book titled Hyderabad 1948; An Avoidable Invasion written by Syed Ali Hashmi would be released on May 20 at the Hyderabad Press Club. The book gives details of the dialogue held between the representatives of the Government of India and those of the Nizam of Hyderabad, the economic sanctions imposed by India and the treacherous role played by the persons holding key positions in the Nizam’s State.

The book also highlights the saga of destruction of the distinct culture of Hyderabad and the events documented by Sunderlal Committee in its report, a press release said here on Thursday.

Mr. Syed Ali Hashmi, author and coordinator of the Society for Promotion of Tolerance (SPoT), has published papers in learned journals. Historian Panduranga Reddy will present the review on the book.
