Birth anniversary of richest Nizam of Hyderabad Mir Osman Ali Khan observed

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The birth anniversary of the last and the richest Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan, was observed on Thursday. Relatives, historians, and others visited Masjid-e-Judi at King Kothi to offer floral tributes.
On the occasion of his birth anniversary, Mir Najaf Ali Khan, the grandson of Mir Osman Ali Khan, urged the state government to declare a holiday.
Richest Nizam of Hyderabad
Mir Osman Ali Khan who ruled the largest princely state in British India from 1911 to 1948 was one of the richest persons in the world, with a net worth of USD 236 billion (adjusted for inflation).

Mir Osman Ali Khan’s wealth can be gauged by the fact that he used the rare Jacob diamond, a 185-carat lime-sized gem, as a paperweight and owned the Golconda Diamond Mines, which was a significant source of his wealth. He also owned 50 Rolls-Royce cars. In 1937, TIME magazine referred to him as the ‘richest man on the planet.’
The size of the erstwhile Hyderabad state was roughly the size of the present-day United Kingdom.
Architect of modern Hyderabad
Mir Osman Ali Khan was not just known for his wealth but was also a good administrator. He is called the ‘Architect of modern Hyderabad’ for his contribution to the development of the city.
He established Osmania University in 1918, introduced electricity, developed railways, roads, and airports, and established many institutions, including Osmania General Hospital, State Bank of Hyderabad, Begumpet Airport, and Hyderabad High Court. To prevent Hyderabad from floods, he built Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar and also built the Nizam Sagar Dam.
Even after the merger of Hyderabad into India, he was made Rajpramukh of Hyderabad. He served the Hyderabad State between 1950 and 1956 as Rajpramukh.

He passed away at the age of 80 years on February 24, 1967, and was laid to rest at Masjid-e-Judi at King Kothi.

Ramzan fast on Hyderabad road: Descendants of those who served Nizam left homeless

[ad_1]
The holy month of Ramzan has begun, but for 35 Muslim families in Hyderabad’s Bistiwada area, it’s a month of hardships and struggles. These families, who are descendants of those who served the Nizam, are spending their days and nights on the streets, observing the Ramzan fast on the road.
Last month, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) pulled down their dwellings, leaving them homeless. The families, including children and senior citizens, are living with their belongings spread out on the streets.
Did not get time to seek legal remedy
These families have been living in the Bistiwada area for six generations, and they have power bills, water bills, and property tax receipts. Fouzia Sultan, a member of one of the affected families, stated that the land was allotted to her grandfather, an ex-serviceman, in 1951. The property was registered in 1981, and the problem started in 1996 when it was claimed that the land belonged to the government.
In 1996, a stay order was obtained, but on February 5 of this year, claimants to the property were asked to visit the GHMC office at Khairatabad. Upon reaching there, officials informed them that they had to leave the property along with their belongings by February 17.

Though, the families started the process to seek legal remedy, on February 13, they were asked to leave the premises along with their belongings as the GHMC would pull down their dwellings on February 14. As informed, GHMC officials pulled down their dwellings on February 14, leaving them homeless.
Families observing Ramzan fast on Hyderabad road
Now, in the holy month of Ramzan, these families are facing immense difficulties. They have nowhere to go and are spending their days and nights on the street, observing the Ramzan fast on the road.
As it is a heartbreaking situation, the government should take swift action to provide them with a roof over their heads.

Telangana Secretariat’s look reflects Nizam culture, will bring its ‘domes’ down: Bandi

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: If Bharatiya Janata Party is voted to power in Telangana, it would demolish the domes of newly-built state secretariat that reflect the culture of the Nizams, state party president Bandi Sanjay Kumar announced on Friday.
Addressing a street corner meeting of the party at Old Boinpally under Kukatpally assembly constituency limits as part of “Janam Gosa-BJP Bharosa” Programme, Sanjay said the forthcoming BJP government would wipe out all kinds of structures that are symbols of slavery of the Nizam regime.
“If we are voted to power, we shall destroy the cultural symbols of the Nizam in Telangana, including the domes of the newly-built Secretariat. We shall make suitable changes that reflect the Indian and Telangana culture,” he said, adding that chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao had converted Tajmahal-like Secretariat into a graveyard only to appease the Owaisis.
Sanjay also announced that Pragati Bhavan, the official bungalow of the chief minister, would also be converted into a Praja Darbar.
Reacting to minister KT Rama Rao’s statement that the government would demolish places of worship that cause hurdles for the expansion of roads, the BJP president challenged KTR to demolish, if he could, the mosques that were built in the middle of the roads in the old city of Hyderabad.
He alleged that the ruling party leaders had encroached upon the poor people’s lands in Kukatpally and when the latter registered protests, they were being booked in false cases.
Stating that there was an overwhelming response to the BJP everywhere in the state, Sanjay said the street corner meetings were aimed at explaining to the people the anarchic rule of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi to the people and the success stories of the Narendra Modi government.
“The chief minister is confined to either farmhouse or Pragati Bhavan and is least bothered about the people. Till now, the government employees haven’t got their salaries and development has taken a back seat,” he said.

Stating that 60 percent of the income of the state comes from Hyderabad, the BJP leader demanded that the state government explain how much of it is spent on the development of Hyderabad. “The KCR government is caught in neck-deep corruption and it is time the people teach him a fitting lesson,” he added.

The 6th Nizam Mahboob Ali Pasha was coroneted this day

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: February 5, 1884. Does the date ring a bell? No prizes for guessing. It was this day 139 years ago that the Hyderabad State got its sixth ruler, Mir Mahboob Ali Khan. He was just 18 when he was invested with full administrative powers. British Viceroy, Lord Rippon, visited Hyderabad for the first time to place the young Nizam on the gaddi at Khilwat Mubarak in Chowmahalla Palace.
The palace was recently in the news when the body of Mukarram Jah Bahadur, the titular Nizam, was kept here for public display and a few days later, his son, Azmet Jah, was crowned as his successor.
This day is also significant as Mahboob Ali Khan was the first Nizam to be coroneted by the representative of Her Majesty, the Queen. Soon after the investiture ceremony he was conferred the title of Grand Commander of the Star of India.
Interestingly the 6th Nizam inherited the masnad at the age of two itself when his father, Nawab Afzal-ud-Daula, passed away. But a Council of Regency was put in place to look after the administration till he came of age. When he turned 16 years, he was initiated into the details of office work and the administration of the State by Nawab Salar Jung.
The first thing that Mahboob Ali Khan did after assuming power was to proclaim that nothing pleased him more than seeing people live in peace and prosperity. Subsequent years proved that he lived up to his words by undertaking administrative reforms that benefitted the people. Development of railways, revision of revenue settlements, setting up of cotton mills at Hyderabad, Aurangabad and Gulbarga are among his significant achievements. Besides this, education, irrigation, medicine also received top priority. The famous Chloroform Commission was held in Hyderabad all because of the scientific interest shown by the sixth Nizam.
Popularly known as Mahboob Ali Pasha, he is also responsible for the establishment of the Victoria Memorial Orphanage, Madrasa-i-Aliya, Asafia State Library and Dairatul Maarif. Old timers recall how the sixth Nizam ruled more with the heart than the head. One can’t forget the relief measures he took after the disastrous Musi floods of 1908.
Poet, marksman, administrator and lover of gems and jewellery, his was a multifaceted personality. Elegantly dressed, he had a fascination for expensive clothes and cars. His two-storey wardrobe at Purani Haveli, the longest one in the world, still has a huge collection of expensive clothes collected by him. He had the reputation of not wearing the same dress twice.
Similarly, his fondness for vintage cars is legendary. Some of the expensive cars like Napier, Rolls Royce Silver Ghosts, were made to order for the then wealthiest man in the world. They are still a big draw at the Chowmahalla Palace.

It was he who bought the famous Jacob Diamond, which forms the crowning glory of the Nizam’s jewels. The 6th Nizam, who was exposed to Western education, was fond of a lavish lifestyle and had a fascination for the good things in life. He breathed his last at Falaknuma Palace at the age of 45 following a paralytic attack. But as his name, Mahboob suggests, he remains a beloved ruler even to this day.

‘KCR has time to pay tributes to titular Nizam…’: Telangana BJP chief

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Bharat Janata Party Telangana unit president Bandi Sanjay on Tuesday came down heavily on State Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and said that people of the state will soon be liberated from the autocratic rule of KCR.
Addressing the BJP Telangana two-day-long State Executive meeting, which concluded in Mahbubnagar yesterday, Bandi Sanjay terming CM KCR as the 8th Nizam, said, “People of Telangana will be liberated very soon from the autocratic rule of KCR”.
Bandi Sanjay’s reactions came against the backdrop of Bharat Rashtra Samithi chief KCR’s decision to skip the all-party meeting led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in December last year under the rubric of India G-20 presidency.
“Telangana CM KCR has ample time to pay tributes to the titular Nizam (who passed away last week) and offered condolences to his family members, whose ancestors have tortured Telangana people and sucked their blood,” he said.
The BJP leader also heaped praises on PM Modi saying that India is on the way to becoming ‘Vishwa Guru’ (world leader).
“Swami Vivekanand, whose birth name was also Narendra, had predicted that India would become Vishwa Guru in the 21st century, and it is coming true under Narendra Modi’s leadership,” he said adding that under the leadership of PM Modi, India gained presidency for G-20 group, which is a big opportunity.
Earlier in December last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired an all-party meeting to underscore the significance of India’s presidency of the G20 and brief the leaders about the government’s approach.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar were among the leaders present at the meeting.

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik were among those present at the meeting which took place at Rashtrapati Bhavan, but Telangana CM KCR abstained from attending the meeting.

Hyderabad: Azmet Jah doesn’t deserve Nizam IX title; says Nawab Najaf Ali

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Nawab Najaf Ali Khan stated on Sunday that Azmet Jah doesn’t deserve to hold the title of Nizam IX.
Khan argued in a written appeal that Azmet Jah’s father never lived in Hyderabad and as such he has “never learnt about thr Asif Jahi Tehzeeb or rituals.” As such, he cannot be referred to as the “head of the Asif Jah dynasty” when all he knows is exclusion of the family and leaving no stone unturned to sit on the throne on his father’s Ziyarat day.
Najaf Ali Khan said that Mukarram Jah (the titular Nizam of Hyderabad) did not have any interest in the title awarded to him which in turn complicated his life. He further became a silent witness which led to his downfall as well as the downfall of the entire family.
“Even though he had the enormous wealth and resources to better the condition of the family, he didn’t wish to stay in Hyderabad and look after family issues. If he had taken action when the family’s condition became dilapidated, this
situation would not be faced by a once majestic family,” he argued.
Khan stated that Azmat Jha’s declaration raises several objections and rejections.
“Firstly, a “Decree” can only be pronounced by a Court, government authority or the head of a state. A decree that self-proclaims a common citizen as the head of a dynasty is not legally valid, especially so after the abolishment of Titles and Privy Purses in 1971,” he said.
Khan further brought up the tale of Nizam VII, who passed away on 24th February 1967.
“Not even three days had passed since his death, when on 27th February 1967, Mukarram Jah obtained and presented a certificate that allowed him to take control of and seize all the private properties, movable and immovable wealth held by Nizam VII,” he wrote.

Khan further said that this led to the onset of the seventh Nizam’s ultimate destruction to the family as it allowed him to smuggle uncountable national and familial artifacts out of India, sell and profit from them.
“However just within a year, on 26th January 1968, this certificate was quashed by the Andhra Pradesh High Court in W.P. No 863 of 1967 Ahmedunnisa Begum Alias Shahzadi Begum vs Union of India rep by Secretary Ministry of Home Affairs Government of India Mew Delhi and Mukarram Jah Bahadur,” he wrote.
Excerpts from the judgement:
“In the result we hold that the Government of India has no power or jurisdiction whether under Article 362 or otherwise to issue the certificate recognizing the 2nd Respondent as the sole successor to all the private properties moveable and immoveable held by the late Nizam or to authorize transfer of the private properties to the 2nd Respondent. Accordingly, we allow the writ Petition with costs and quash the certificate dated 27.2.1967 issued to the Nizam the 2nd Respondent relating to the successor to private property of the late Nizam”.
When Mukarram Jah challenged the 1968 Judgement of Andhra Pradesh High Court in the Supreme Court, he requested Union of India to become party towards his support of the Succession Certificate. The Union of India refused to help him and they were more interested to help the heirs of Nizam VII to recover possession which they lost only on account of the certificate as and said in ref Ministry of Law (Shri R.S. Gao Secretary) MHA/U.O. No1/3/-Poll. III dated 28-3-68 Page no 13 para 5.
“And if the order quashing the certificate is not reversed, certainly it is the duty of the Government to help the heirs of the late Nizam to recover possession which they lost only on account of the certificate”. Further in 1971, in the 26th Amendment of the Constitution of India, the Government abolished all Titles, and Privy Purses held by the princely states. The Constitution explicitly states the follows: “363A. Recognition granted to Rulers of Indian States to cease and privy purses to be abolished. – Notwithstanding anything in this Constitution or in any law for the time being in force.”
The Prince, Chief or other person who, at any time before the commencement of the Indian Constitution (Twenty-sixth Amendment) Act, 1971, was recognized by the President as the Ruler of an Indian State or any person who, at any time before such commencement, was recognized by the President.
Nizam IX title not applicable
“It is imperative to note that TWICE, in 1968 and 1971, the title held by Mukarram Jah was quashed and abolished by competent government authorities thus rendering his title as Nizam VIII null and void,” Khan added.
“Issued as per the instructions of Walashan Azmet Jah Bahadur” Azmet Jah has self-proclaimed himself as IXth Nizam of Asaf Jahi Dynasty by issuing the self-declaration dated Friday 20th January 2023 issued by his office signed by 2 persons, both who are not a part of the Nizam Family,” he wrote.
“The said Succession Certificate dated 27.02.1967 was misused several times by his GPA’S to sell Wakf and ancestral properties worth crores of rupees and cause irreparable financial damage to the family. It has also been misused by them to claim compensations by claiming that Mukarram Jah is the sole successor to his grandfather and to the Properties left behind by him. For over half a decade, these illegal and atrocious acts have pushed the family into a state of desolate financial ruin and caused damage that cannot be undone,” he mentioned.
This certificate was falsely presented in the London High Court which caused the family a financial damage of over 25 million pounds, leading to a loss in reputation and infringement of rights.
To provide the final clarity on this, Prince Mukarram Jah’s status in 1971, has been reduced to a common citizen and he was no more a sovereign ruler.
Khan said that he has alerted both the Central and State government on the misuse of this certificate. He also said that strict legal action will be pursued to prevent misuse of this null and void title and curb any misinformation that stems
from it.

Has Mukarram Jah left any legacy? Or is it just the name of Seventh Nizam that evokes feelings

[ad_1]
These past few days have been dominated by events that took place in Turkey and followed up in Hyderabad.
Nawab Mir Barakat Ali Khan who was popularly known as Mukarram Jah Bahadur passed away in Istanbul, Turkey at 89 on January 14. His body was shifted to Hyderabad in a chartered aircraft the next day evening. A few selected groups of people were allowed to pay him their last respects that night.
The next day the general public was facilitated to enter the Chowmahalla Palace to see him for the last time between 8-00 am and 1-00 pm. The body was later shifted to Makkah Masjid where he was interned in a grave alongside the other Asaf Jahi rulers.
One question that has lingered on in the minds of the people is: Why he did not choose to be buried next to his grandfather, Nawab Mir Osman Ali Khan, the Seventh Nizam, in the foreground of Masjid Judi located in the premises of King Kothi? It was the Seventh Nizam who had chosen him over his first son Azam Jah Bahadur to be his successor.
In the night of January 20th, Mukarram Jah’s first son Mir Mohammad Azmat Ali Khan Azmet Jah has been anointed as the new head of the family. The press note issued by the Palace said that the successor of Mukarram Jah was declared in the presence of “immediate family members, trustees, close friends, well-wishers, and staff members.”
Leaving out Muffakham Jah
Surprisingly, among these “immediate family members…” Muffakham Jah, the only brother of the late Prince, was not present. According to Palace sources, Muffakham Jah who was there at the Palace and later at Makkah Masjid during the last ceremonies was not informed about this succession ceremony. Why?
Muffakham Jah
What is left of the grand old Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan who owned huge tracts of land in Hyderabad and on its outskirts, Golconda Fort, several palaces, etc.? (For reference please refer to the Blue Book, a document spread over several pages. Copies of this book are available with some resourceful persons in Hyderabad).
It is sad but true that Mukarram Jah did not value his lineage or heritage and quietly left Hyderabad in 1971 never to return and stay here for long.
Yes, he did make a few sojourns to the city, visited a mosque near Katora House in the precinct of the Golconda Fort, and met a few friends and acquaintances. He is also said to have held a ceremony or two in these last 51 years in Hyderabad.

Mukarram Jah Trust
Mukarram Jah School
However, he did establish Mukarram Jah Trust for Education and Learning and, roped in some big names to be part of that trust but nothing beyond that has happened. An educational institution for boys and girls has been set up somewhere in the mid-eighties. He made a few visits to the school whenever he was in the city.
City watchers ask what he has done beyond establishing that school for Hyderabad and its people. There are many other people who have done a similar or even better job. For instance, you have Sultanul Uloom Education Society, Deccan Education Society, Madinah Education Society, Shaadan Education Society, etc. where thousands upon thousands of boys and girls are graduating every year. Hundreds of them are medical, engineering, pharmacy, education, and business management graduates.
So what is the big deal if Mukarram Jah has established one school? People ask.
Nazri Bagh in dispute

The status of King Kothi Palace of which only a portion—Nazri Bagh—is left with the family is not known. Even Nazri Bagh is said to have become a disputed property with no clarification from quarters that claim proximity to the Prince and his heirs.
Prince Neglects Chiran Palace
Some six acres of property spread over different parts of the premises of KBR Park belong to the late Prince. It is known by its original name Chiran Palace. The Prince and the people appointed by him have held long but unending negotiations with the State government over the status of the land. The negotiations are in limbo.
KBR Park
Mosque in Chiran Palace
Chiran Palace is occasionally used by the family. This writer interviewed Prince Mukarram Jah and his son Azmet Jah there a few years ago.
Chowmahalla Palace opened
Now we come to the Chowmahallah which has been renovated and opened for the public by Princess Esra Jah, former wife of the Prince, who holds a general power of attorney over his properties in Hyderabad. She has done a fine job. Whoever visits the palace comes out praising it. It was the Durbar Hall of this palace where the body of the Prince was kept for the people to pay their last respects.
Princess Esra accepting condolences from Telangana CM KCR
Now, the questions that the people of Hyderabad would like to ask: Princes Esra, whenever she is in Hyderabad, stays at Falaknuma Palace where a separate luxurious portion has been left aside for the family by Taj Falaknuma management. Would Azmet Jah stay in the same area as her mother? Or would he like to stay at Chowmahalla Palace where an exclusive portion has been left for occasional use?
What role would he like to play within his extended family that includes a host of hostile relations? What relations would he like to have with Hyderabad as such (that also means the government of Telangana). Finally, the most important question: Would Azmet Jah stay in Hyderabad at all, or would like to fly back to his cozy corners in the UK and the USA?
Let us all wait and watch.
