To which country did the Nizam originally wish Hyderabad to accede?

  • The United States

  • China

  • The United Kingdom

  • Pakistan

Answer

Pakistan was the desired accession country for Hyderabad due to multiple factors. Hyderabad shared religious, cultural, and linguistic similarities with Pakistan. The state's ruler, the Nizam of Hyderabad, had close ties with Pakistan's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Additionally, Hyderabad was geographically contiguous with Pakistan, making accession a practical choice. However, India's military intervention and political pressure ultimately led to Hyderabad's accession to India in 1948.
