Marathwada Liberation Day, also known as Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din is celebrated in Maharashtraon 17 September annually. It marks the anniversary of Marathwada's integrationwith India when the Indian military, invaded State of Hyderabad, and defeated the Nizam to merge Hyderabad into the  Indian Union on 17 September 1948, which would be a staggering 13 months after Indian independence.[1][2][3][4]History
India gained independence from British on 15 August 1947. After the partition, princely states were given the option to join either India or Pakistan. The ruler of Hyderabad, Osman Ali Khan, decided to remain independent. He also appealed to the United Nations that his princely state, which included current Marathwada and Telangana regions, be granted statehood. This sparked a rebellion in the State. During the revolt Marathwada saw major uprisings against the Razakars . The main leaders of the revolt were Swami Ramanand Tirth, Govindbhai Shroff, Vijayendra Kabra and Ramanbhai Parikh and P H Patwardhan.
The Indian government appeared anxious to avoid what it termed a "Balkanization" of the new country and was determined to integrate Hyderabad into the newly formed Indian Union.[5] Amidst the unrest the Indian government launched a military operation named Operation Polowhich it termed a "police action". The operation itself took five days, in which the Razakars were defeated and Hyderabad was annexed.[6][7][8][9]

Marathwada, Telangana and 4 districts of Karnataka were part of the former princely Hyderabad state. Since 1948, when Hyderabad annexed, 17 September has been celebrated as "Liberation day" by Maharashtra and Karnataka. However, Andhra Pradesh and the now state of Telangana do not celebrate it. Because after liberation day there were many incidents of Mass murders, rape, property distractions of innocent people majorly Muslims was done. Evidence of which is observed in Pandit Sunderlal Committee Report.
