Political Career
About 1910, Syed Fazlullah was appointed to the Hyderabadi Parliament by a royal farman of Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII as Speaker of the Assembly and given rights to title himself as Aziz Jung for that period in office. Later, he was made Revenue Minister and granted the style of Nawab Fazal Nawaz Jung. First as Speaker of the House, then as Revenue Minister, Fazal Nawaz Jung led Hyderabad through its own Gilded Age, a time when the princely state’s Nizam was counted among the wealthiest men in the world. Notable achievements included establishment of the Hyderabad Co-operative Society.
After Operation Polo and Police Action, he was placed under house arrest as were several of the other ministers of the Nizam's Government. Investigations by the Government of India revealed no criminal activities, and Fazal Nawaz Jung was found innocent, unlike others of his time including Deen Yar Jung whose tales of corruption included account books with pensions made out to his cows.

“Man is by nature a political animal.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
