Kasim Razvi (also Qasim Razvi; 17 July 1902 – 15 January 1970) was a politician in the princely state of Hyderabad. He was the president of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen party from December 1946 until the state's Annexation in 1948.[3] He was also the founder of the Razakar militia in the state. He held the levers of power with the Nizam of Hyderabad,[4] blocking the possibilities of his accommodation with the Dominion of India.[5]
According to scholar Lucien Benichou, "[Razvi] can arguably be considered to have been the political figure whose influence and unrealistic vision proved the most detrimental to the interests of the State in the crucial years of 1947–48."[6][7]
