Nizam of Hyderabad

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Nizam of Hyderabad

The Nizam of Hyderabad was the local ruler of Hyderabad, who was answerable to the British. He had a harem. He assigned Rani Jhulka to be the personal bodyguard for his bride-to-be Khair-un-Nissa Kapoor. When Khair decided to run away with Rani and was strangled by a Thuggee in the attempt, he blamed Rani and sentenced her to death. (COMIC: The Swords of Kali)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Although not clarified in the comic story, the Nizam of Hyderabad was a royal title, similar to "king" or "tsar". In other words, the Nizam of Hyderabad in the real world designated a position rather than a specific person.
