Feuding Nizam's family: Why were we excluded?
The Statesman Siliguri
|May 14, 2025
The succession feud between members of the Hyderabad Royal family has even touched the Miss World pageant as those descendants opposed to Azmet Jah, the son of the last titular Nizam complained to chief minister A Revanth Reddy that they were excluded from the welcome dinner with the contestants at Chowmahalla Palace today, organised by the Telangana Tourism department.
The Chowmahalla Palace of the Nizams is a private property, currently held by Azmet Shah, the son of Prince Mukarram Jah, who was the last titular Nizam. Jah had ascended the throne as Nawab Mir Barkat Ali after his grandfather, the seventh Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan, designated him as the successor. After Mukarram Jah's death, his son Azmet Shah was coronated in the Durbar of the Chowmahalla Palace in 2023.
The other faction, which opposed him, demanding their share of the properties, refused to acknowledge him as the Nizam. They organised a parallel coronation recognising Nawab Raunaq Yar Khan as the ninth Nizam.
