Nawab Hamidullah Khan

Hamidullah Khan introduced modern administrative reforms in Bhopal, including a council of ministers and a judiciary system. These reforms improved governance efficiency and reduced feudal practices in the state.

Hamidullah Khan was elected Chancellor of the Chamber of Princes, representing princely states in negotiations with the British government. He played a key role in the Round Table Conferences on Indian constitutional reforms.

Hamidullah Khan, as Nawab of Bhopal, signed the Instrument of Accession to join the Dominion of India after Indian independence. This decision integrated Bhopal into the Indian Union, ending its princely sovereignty.

Hamidullah Khan advocated for a united India and opposed the partition that created Pakistan. He argued for a federal system where princely states would retain autonomy within a unified Indian nation.
