He ruled Hyderabad State between 1911 and 1948, until it was annexed by India. He was styled as<br>His Exalted Highness the Nizam of Hyderabad<br>. He was one of the wealthiest people of all time. In 1937, he was featured on the cover of<br>Time<br>magazine, labelled as the 5th richest man in history and the richest Indian ever.<br>In many accounts, he is held to have been a benevolent ruler who patronized education, science and development. During his 37-year rule, electricity was introduced, railways, roads and airways were developed. He is credited with the establishment numerous public institutions in the city of Hyderabad, including the Osmania University, Osmania General Hospital, State Bank of Hyderabad, Begumpet Airport, and Hyderabad High Court. Two reservoirs, namely Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar were built during his reign, to prevent another great flood in the city.<br>He was also a philanthropist, donating millions of rupees to various educational and religious institutions all over India. Apart from his wealth, he was known for his eccentricities, as he used to knit his own socks, and borrow cigarettes from guests.<br>After India's independence in 1947, the Nizam did not wish to accede his state to the newly formed nation. By then, his power had weakened due to the Telangana movement and rise of a radical Muslim militia known as the Razakars. In 1948, the Indian Army invaded and annexed Hyderabad State, and the Nizam was forced to surrender. Later he was made the Rajpramukh of Hyderabad State between 1950 and 1956, after which the state was partitioned and became part of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. The Nizam died in 1967.<br>The Nizam lived at King Kothi Palace-bought from a nobleman-for all his life from age 13. He never moved to Chowmahalla Palace, even after his accession to the throne.<br>Unlike his father, he was not interested in fine clothing or hunting. His hobbies included poetry; he used to write Urdu ghazals.<br>Wives and children<br>On 14 April 1920, the Nizam married Sahebzadi Azmath unnisa Begum (Dulhan Pasha Begum) (1889-1955), daughter of Nawab Jahangir Jung Bahadur, at Eden Bagh now known as Eden Garden at King Kothi, Hyderabad at the age 21. Nawab Mir Khudrath Nawaz Jung Bahadur was the first brother-in-law of the Nizam, and the uncle of his sons Azam Jah (1907-1970), Moazzam Jah (1907-1987), and Shehzadi Pasha.<br>Azam Jah married Durru Shehvar, daughter of Abdul Mejid II (the last Ottoman Caliph and cousin and heir to the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire). They had two children, Mukarram Jah and Muffakham Jah. Moazzam Jah married Princess Niloufer, a princess of the Ottoman empire.<br>While some sources say he had only 34 children, including 18 sons and 16 daughters., others report he had had 149 children.<br>Final years and death<br>The Nizam continued to stay at the King Kothi Palace until his death. He used to issue<br>firmans<br>on inconsequential matters in his newspaper, the Nizam Gazette.<br>He died on Friday, 24 February 1967. He had willed that he be buried in Masjid-e Judi, a mosque where his mother was buried, that faced King Kothi Palace. The government declared state mourning on February 25, 1967, the day when he was buried. State government offices remained closed as a mark of respect while the National Flag of India was<br>flown at half-mast<br>on all the government buildings throughout the state. According to Nizam Museum documents,<br>"The streets and pavements of the city were littered with the pieces of broken glass bangles as an incalculable num
