The Indian Government annexed ______ in 1948 under the code name 'Operation Polo'.
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. HyderabadA. हैदराबाद
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Hyderabad.
According to the source, Operation Polo was the code name given to the Hyderabad 'police action' undertaken in September 1948 by the newly independent Dominion of India against Hyderabad State.
It was a military operation in which the Indian Armed Forces entered the princely state ruled by the Nizam and Hyderabad was subsequently annexed into the Indian Union.
For competitive examinations, the most important association is Operation Polo — Hyderabad — September 1948.
The question is significant for both Static GK and post-independence Indian history because the integration of princely states was an important part of the political consolidation of independent India.
Students should pay particular attention to the code name.
SSC can reverse the same fact and ask which military operation was associated with the integration of Hyderabad, in which case the answer would be Operation Polo.
Gwalior, Mysore and Baroda were also princely states, making them plausible distractors, but they are not associated with Operation Polo according to the source.
The reference to the Nizam is another useful clue because Hyderabad State was ruled by the Nizam.
The book specifically characterises the action as the Hyderabad 'police action' and as a military operation resulting in annexation into the Indian Union.
Therefore, for quick revision, remember the complete chain: Operation Polo — Hyderabad State — Nizam — September 1948 — integration into the Indian Union.
Based on the source, option (a), Hyderabad, is correct.
सही उत्तर हैदराबाद है। स्रोत के अनुसार Operation Polo सितंबर 1948 में Hyderabad State के विरुद्ध स्वतंत्र भारत के तत्कालीन Dominion of India द्वारा की गई Hyderabad 'Police Action' का code name था। यह एक military operation था जिसमें Indian Armed Forces ने Nizam द्वारा शासित princely state Hyderabad में प्रवेश किया और इसके बाद Hyderabad का Indian Union में विलय हुआ। प्रतियोगी परीक्षाओं के लिए सबसे महत्वपूर्ण association है: Operation Polo — Hyderabad — September 1948। यह प्रश्न Static GK के साथ-साथ स्वतंत्रता के बाद के भारतीय इतिहास के लिए भी महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि princely states का भारतीय संघ में एकीकरण स्वतंत्र भारत के political consolidation का महत्वपूर्ण भाग था। Code name पर विशेष ध्यान देना चाहिए। SSC इसी तथ्य को उल्टा पूछ सकता है कि Hyderabad के Indian Union में integration से संबंधित military operation का नाम क्या था; तब उत्तर Operation Polo होगा। Gwalior, Mysore और Baroda भी princely states रहे थे, इसलिए वे अच्छे distractors हैं, लेकिन स्रोत के अनुसार Operation Polo का संबंध Hyderabad से था। Nizam का उल्लेख भी महत्वपूर्ण clue है क्योंकि Hyderabad State पर Nizam का शासन था। पुस्तक इस कार्रवाई को Hyderabad 'police action' तथा Indian Union में annexation से संबंधित military operation बताती है। Quick revision chain रखें: Operation Polo — Hyderabad State — Nizam — September 1948 — Indian Union में integration। इसलिए विकल्प (a), हैदराबाद, सही उत्तर है।
