Nizam's Silver

Nizam's Silver refers to the vast wealth, primarily in the form of silver, accumulated by the Nizams of Hyderabad, who were the rulers of the Hyderabad State in India during the 18th and 19th centuries. After India gained independence in 1947, the Nizam's wealth became a subject of interest, as it was one of the richest royal treasuries. The silver included coins, bullion, and jewelry, symbolizing the Nizam's power and status. Following the integration of Hyderabad into India, discussions about the rightful ownership and distribution of this wealth became a significant historical and economic issue.
