dbpprop:abstract
  • Asaf Jah VII, was the last Nizam (or ruler) of the Princely State of Hyderabad and of Berar, a state with majority of Hindu population. He ruled Hyderabad between 1911 and 1948, until it was merged into India. He was styled His Exalted Highness The Nizam of Hyderabad. During his days as Nizam, he was reputed to be the richest man in the world, having a fortune estimated at $2 billion in the early 1940s. He was featured on the cover of TIME magazine, portrayed as such. In 1950, the newly independent Union government of India's treasury reported annual revenue of merely $1 billion. The Nizam is widely believed to have remained as the richest man in south Asia until his death in 1967 though his fortunes fell to $1 billion by then and became a subject of multiple legal disputes between bitterly fighting rival descendants. Adjusting for inflation, however, he today ranks as the 5th richest person in the history of the world, the wealthiest-ever Asian, the wealthiest-ever Indian and the second-wealthiest monarch in world history, with a fortune that at its high point was $225 billion (in 2008 US dollars). He built the magnificent Hyderabad House in Delhi, now used for diplomatic meetings by the Government of India.

  • ミール・オスマーン・アリー・カーン（مير عثمان علي خان, Mir Osman Ali Khan）（1886年4月8日－1967年2月24日）はニザーム藩王国の第10代そして最後の当主にして藩王。アースィフ・ジャー（آصف جاه, Asif Jah）7世。 生まれながらに藩王国の相続を約束されていたために、大変な期待をうけ、特に手厚く養育された。著名な学者達が、彼に英語、ウルドゥー語、ペルシア語を教授した。彼自身もよく学び、ウルドゥー語やペルシア語で詩文を書くほどに上達した。21歳になった1906年4月14日に、同藩王国の貴族の娘ドゥーラーン・パシャ・ベーガムと結婚した。 父であり前代の藩王ミール・マフブーブ・アリ・カーンの死により、同藩王国を引き継ぎ1911年9月11日に戴冠した。ミール・オスマーン・アリー・カーンは、彼の藩王国を世界の最先端都市と匹敵するものに発展させる事を心に決めていた。彼はこう宣言している。「我が臣民と我が藩王国に最善となる事を、余は力の限り執り行う」 彼の治世中にハイデラバードは、行政機構の整備、天然資源の開発、伝統文化研究機関の設立、市民の生活水準の向上といった政策を積極的に推し進めた。 1914年に勃発した第一次世界大戦では、同年に大英帝国支援のためハイデラバード藩王（ニザーム）軍騎兵隊をエジプトに派遣した。自らも同地に赴き、第20デカン騎兵隊の名誉大佐として、終戦まで同地に留まった。1939年の第二次世界大戦においても、イギリスの要請により、軍隊と2500万ポンドを供出している。第二次世界大戦の終了に伴いイギリスは、インドから撤退し、1948年9月19日に独立を勝ち取ったインド政府の派遣した軍隊により、彼のニザーム藩王国はインド政府に強制併合された。1967年2月24日死去。
