Nizam's military

The Nizam's military refers to the armed forces of the Nizam of Hyderabad, a princely state in India during the British colonial period. The Nizam maintained a well-organized army that included infantry, cavalry, and artillery, often incorporating modern military techniques and training. Known for its loyalty and discipline, the military served to protect the Nizam's territory and interests. The Nizam also relied on Indian soldiers and local recruitment, enhancing its regional strength. After India’s independence in 1947, the Nizam's forces were integrated into the Indian military system, marking the end of princely state armies in India.
