Nizams of Hyderabad

The Nizams of Hyderabad were a royal dynasty that ruled the princely state of Hyderabad in India from the 18th century until 1948. They were known for their wealth, cultural patronage, and administrative complexities. The last Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Pasha, was one of the richest men in the world during his reign. The Nizams contributed significantly to the region's architecture, education, and healthcare. After India gained independence in 1947, Hyderabad was integrated into the Indian Union in 1948, marking the end of the Nizam's rule. Their legacy continues to influence the culture and history of Hyderabad today.
