All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (meaning 'All India Council of United Muslims') The party has roots back to the days of the princely State of Hyderabad. It was founded by Bahadur Yar Jung and Maulana Abul Hasan Syed Ali in 1927 as a pro-Nizam party. The Majlis advocated the set up of a Muslim dominion rather than integration with India.
The Razakars (volunteers), a Muslim paramilitary organization, was linked to the Majlis. In total up to 150 000 Razakar soldiers were mobilized to fight against the communists and for the independence of the Hyderabad State against Indian integration. After the integration of the Hyderabad state with India, the Majlis was banned in 1948. The Majlis president and Razakar leader Qasim Rizwi was jailed 1948-1957, and then deported to Pakistan
Still some people say MIM as nothing to do with Razakars..Razakars were a private islamic militia organized by Qasim Razvi to support the rule of Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII and resist the integration of Hyderabad State in India.
Conversely, the people of Telangana under the leadership of Swami Ramanand Tirtha, fought for the integration of state with rest of India. Eventually, the Indian army routed the Razakars and the group was disbanded after India annexed the state.
Qasim Razvi, the military chief of Hyderabad state, fled to Pakistan where he was granted asylum. Majlis party, a contemporay political party in the present Hyderabad owes its foundations to Qasim Razvi.
