3.6.7.1 Hyderabad State 1948–56: military rule, the Burgula ministry and the Mulki agitation 1952

After Operation Polo, Hyderabad State passed from military rule (1948–49) and a civil administration (1950–52) to its first elected government under Burgula Ramakrishna Rao (1952–56), while the 1952 Mulki agitation exposed Telangana's fear of outsiders in government jobs; in 1956 the state was broken up on linguistic lines.
