A hand written letter by Sir Walter Monckton, Q.C., Constitutional Adviser to H.E.H. the Nizam of Hyderabad thanking (then) Major Amiruddin for personally saving his life during the Razakar agitation.

H.E.H. the Nizam of Hyderabad, in his radio speech on 23 September 1948, said “In November last [1947], a small group which had organized a quasi-military organization surrounded the homes of my Prime Minister, the Nawab of Chhatari, in whose wisdom I had complete confidence, and of Sir Walter Monkton, my Constitutional Adviser, by duress compelled the Nawab and other trusted ministers to resign and forced the Laik Ali Ministry on me. This group headed by Kasim Razvi had no stake in the country or any record of service behind it. By methods reminiscent of Hitlerite Germany it took possession of the State, spread terror … and rendered me completely helpless.”
