Hyderabad State List of Leading Officials, Nobles and Personages List of leading Officials, Nobles and Person ages in the Hyderabad State. HYDERABAD 1 . The State was founded by Mir Kamar-ud-din All Khan, better known by his titles of Chin Killij Khan Fateh Jang, Nizam-ul-Mulk and Asaf Jah. He was the son of Aurangzebs General, Ghazi-ud-din Khan Feroz Jang, who traced his descent through Shaikh Alam and Shaikh Shab-ud-din Suhrvardi to Abu-Bakr, the first Khalifa. 2. Nizam-ul-Mulk was first appointed Viceroy of the Deccan in 1712, and by 1724, he made himself virtually independent of the Moghul Emperor at Delhi. On his death in 1748, the succession to the maBnad was fiercely contested by his sons, the English and French Set tlements of Madras and Pondicherry espousing in turn the cause of the rival claimants. Eventually in 1751, by the influence of M. Bussy, Salabat Jang, the third son, emerged successful from the struggle. Though French influence predominated at his court, he was compelled to surrender Musulipatam to the English Company and to permit no French settlement in his dominions. In his wars with the Mahrattas he was unsuccessful, but in 1761, after the shock which the Mahratta power received at Panipat, he was able to regain most of the territory he had lost. In the same year he was deposed by his younger brother Nizam Ali Khan. Nizam Alls long feign was a period of great importance to Hyderabad. In 1765, in conjunction with the Peshwa, he attacked and defeated Janoji Bhonsla, who was compelled to restore to him three fourths of the districts which he had received in 1763. Three years later the Nizam concluded a treaty with the East India Company by which the latter agreed to pay au annual PeMash of Its. v, UU, OOl for the Northern Circars which had been granted to them by a Farman and to provide a body of troops to assist him and his successors. In 1767, the Nizam allied himself with Haider Ali against the Company, but was compelled early in the next year to conclude a treaty of peace by which the agreement regarding the tenure of the Northern Circars and the provision of troops by the Company was revised and by which a stipu lation was made that the troops which the Company was liable by Treaty to be called on to supply, should not be used against any Chief in alliance with the Company. He again prepared for War in 1779 when the intervention of the Supreme Government led to the restoration to Basalat Jang, the Nizams brother, of the Guntur District. In 1795, Nizam Ali unsuccessfully attacked the Mahratta Confederacy at Kurdla and was forced to surrender territories, including the Fort of Daulatabad, valued at Es. 35,00,000 a year a, nd to pay a sum of three crores of rupees. The prohibition against the use of the Subsidiary Force on this occasion led to its withdrawal at the Nizams request and to the organi sation by him of a force under French Officers, British influence was restored in 1798, when Captain James Achilles Kirkpatriek concluded a treaty of alliance determining the permanent strength of the Subsidiary Force and stipulating that toe French Officers in the Nizams service should be disbanded and no more foreigners employed, In 1799 the Nizam aided the Company in tha War with Tippu Sultan, on the suc cessful termination of which, the partition treaty of Mysore was signed. In 1800 a new Subsidiary Treaty was concluded by which the strength of the Subsidiary Force was permanently increased and the Nizam agreed to supply a Contingent of 6,000 Infantry and 9,000 Horse to act with the Subsidiary Force in case of war.
