One should not be biased while understanding history

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: “Hyderabad Liberation Struggle is a unique incident in which people of the same area fought for independence twice. One should not have a selfish attitude while understanding the history of the struggle,” said Nishikant Bhalerao, a senior journalist.

Bringing to light many incidents of the liberation struggle, Nishikant Bhalerao said martyrs received strong support from women of their families. Earlier, Pro-VC Dr Shyam Shirsath made an introductory speech. Parag Hase conducted the proceedings while registrar Dr Sakhle proposed a vote of thanks. VC Dr Yeole also spoke.
