7th Nizam

The 7th Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Pasha, was the last ruler of the princely state of Hyderabad in India, reigning from 1911 until 1948. He was known for his contributions to education, infrastructure, and the arts, significantly modernizing the state. His rule saw the establishment of institutions like Osmania University and advancements in irrigation and railways. However, after India's independence in 1947, Hyderabad's integration into the Indian Union resulted in conflict, leading to the Nizam’s eventual defeat.
