Nizami Khans

Nizami Khans, also known as Nizams, refer to the rulers from the Deccan region of India, particularly the Nizam of Hyderabad, who held significant power during the 18th to early 20th centuries. They were descendants of the Mughal Empire and governed as semi-autonomous leaders. The Nizams were known for their contributions to culture, architecture, and economy, establishing Hyderabad as a center of prosperity. The most notable figure, Nizam VII, was one of the richest individuals in history. The Nizams played a crucial role in India’s history, especially during the British colonial period.
