The Story
The Princely State That Outlasted the Mughals
"While Mughal power faded, the Nizams of Hyderabad ruled one of India's largest princely states for over two centuries — until 1948."
The Nizam of Hyderabad Theme File tracks all seven Nizams, from Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah I, who founded the dynasty in 1724, to Asaf Jah VII, the last Nizam, whose state acceded to India in 1948.
45 notes trace birth, death, and reign dates across a dynasty once considered among the wealthiest in the world.
"7 Nizams. Over 220 years of one of India's richest princely states."
