Nizam (VII of Hyderabad)
Nizam VII of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan (1886–1967), was the last reigning ruler of the Hyderabad State in India. Known for his wealth, administrative skills, and contributions to education and infrastructure, he ruled from 1911 until 1948. Despite modern developments, his reign ended when the Indian government integrated Hyderabad into India, dissolving its autonomous rule. He remained influential until his death, symbolizing a period of princely states' prominence before India became a unified republic.
