The Hyderābād State was ruled, from 1724 until 1948, by a
hereditary Nizam. In 1798 Hyderabad became a princely states
under British East India Company's suzerainty. In 1947, at the
time of the partition of India, the Nizam decided to keep
Hyderabad independent. Most of the other 565 princely states had
already acceded to India or to Pakistan voluntarily. The Indian
government was therefore determined to annex Hyderabad into the
Indian Union, by force if necessary. In September 1948, India
launched a military operation named Operation Polo, led by
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, then Minister of Home Affairs and
Deputy Prime Minister of India. The Indian Armed Forces invaded
the State of Hyderabad and overthrew Nizam. The first Nizam
ruled on behalf of the Mughal emperors. After the death of
Aurangzeb, the Nizams split from the Mughals to form an
independent kingdom. When the British achieved paramountcy over
India, the Nizams were allowed to continue to rule their
princely states as client kings. The Nizams retained internal
power over Hyderabad State until 17 September 1948 when
Hyderabad was integrated into the new Indian Union.
