While Nehru wanted military option to be the last resort, Patel wanted it to be the first.

Mr. Noorani calls Nehru an ardent ‘Indian nationalist’ and Patel a ‘Hindu nationalist’ and explains in depth their differences on many things, including the Quit India movement. He further writes how Nehru had a contempt for the Nizam’s set-up but bore no malice towards him personally while Patel hated the Nizam personally and ideologically opposed Hyderabad’s composite culture.

“Nehru wanted to avoid India’s balkanisation by defeating Hyderabad’s secessionist venture. Patel wanted to go further. He wanted to destroy Hyderabad and its culture completely,” Mr. Noorani writes in his forthcoming book.
