    The city of Hyderabad in the medieval period

    Answer:

    Hyderabad became a part of the Mughal Empire in the Deccan during the rule of Aurangzeb. After the death of Aurangzeb, the Mughal-appointed governor Nizam-ill- Mulk Asaf Jah became the governor of the Deccan in 1713. Later he was made the vizier of the Mughal Empire. But, later he moved back to the Deccan. In 1724, he declared himself the governor of the six Deccan provinces, Hyderabad being one of them. He started the Asaf Jam dynasty. During this period, Persian, Urdu, Telugu and Marathi developed simultaneously. The highest official positions were given to the deserving person irrespective of their religion. Nizam-ul-Mulk's successors ruled as Nizams of Hyderabad. Nizam Alt Khan, Asaf Jahi II, moved the capital back to Hyderabad from Aurangabad. Hyderabad became the largest Indian state in British India.
