As a Princely State, Hyderabad was the largest in population among
over 560 tributary states under British paramountcy in colonial
India. This book is a collection of profiles and sketches of some
of the most important and influential people from the erstwhile
Hyderabad State during the first half of the 20th century, which
marked the last decades of its existence as a distinct entity under
the British Raj. It features profiles of Mir Osman Ali Khan, the
Seventh Nizam; Mir Laik Ali, the last Prime Minister of Hyderabad;
Kasim Razvi; some of the Nizam's administrators and diplomats; as
well as Sir Walter Monckton, the Nizam's British Constitutional
Advisor; amongst others. Unfolding the pages of history, the text
gives an insight into the administration and affairs of Hyderabad
during this time, through an examination of the lives of the people
closely associated with it. A unique contribution to the literature
on modern Indian and colonial history, this book will be
indispensable for students and researchers of history, modern
Indian history, colonialism, imperial history, biography, and South
Asia studies. It will also appeal to general readers interested in
the history of Hyderabad.
