Nasir-ud-Daulah

Nasir-ud-Daulah ascended the throne of Hyderabad after the death of his father, Sikandar Jah. His reign was marked by loyalty to the British East India Company and a focus on internal administration.

Nasir-ud-Daulah established the Nizam's College in Hyderabad, an institution for higher education. This was part of his efforts to modernize the state's educational system and promote learning among the elite.

During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, Nasir-ud-Daulah refused to join the uprising and maintained his alliance with the British East India Company. He provided military support to the British, which helped suppress the rebellion in the Deccan.
