Nizam - End of The Dynasty and Removal of The Last Nizam

End of The Dynasty and Removal of The Last Nizam

After the British left India in 1947, the princely state of Hyderabad acceded to Pakistan but Indian forces did not adhere to the partition plan of the Sub continent,while the ruler of the state opted to join Pakistan and started taking support from Pakistan. After attempts by India to persudade the Nizam to accede to India failed, the Indian government launched Hyderabad police action on 13 September 1948, swiftly overrunning the Nizam's forces, and within four and a half days took control of the princely state of Hyderabad. The Nizam capitulated and his forces surrendered on 17 September 1948 and he broadcast this over radio the same afternoon. His rule ended on 17 September 1948. It was the end of the ruling dynasty. People of Hyderabad came out to the streets to celebrate the triumph of Indian Army over the autocratic, undemocratic rue of Nizam. Mir Osman Ali Khan, the last Nizam, died on Friday 24 February 1967. All Nizams are buried in the royal graves at the Makkah Masjid near Charminar in Hyderabad except for the last Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan, who wished to be buried beside his mother, in the grave yard of Judi Mosque facing King Kothi Palace.
