He may be best known as the last Nizam of Hyderabad, but Mir Osman Ali Khan had a rather museum-worthy collection of autos. The richest man in the world until he died in 1967, the Nizam was a confessed car obsessive, and to prove it he had the best and rarest luxury autos – particularly Rolls-Royce. It’s said that when Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd refused to sell their car to Mir Osman, Hyderabad’s last ruler bought some old Rolls-Royce cars and used them for garbage collection, which damaged the image of the British luxury automobile maker. The company requested Nizam to stop this practice and began gifting Rolls-Royce cars to him. Eventually, he had 50 of them. The seventh Nizam has enjoyed a lifelong love affair with cars. He possessed the greatest fleet between 1900 and 1967, ranging from luxurious to outlandish. Most of his coveted collection is now scattered across the world, acquired by museums and collectors. His diverse collection included a 1933 Dodge and a priceless Rolls-Royc

Nizam's family objects to Amit Shah's comments The family of Nizam VII Mir Osman Ali Khan on Monday took objection to Home Minister Amit Shah's statement on terming the culture of Hy derabad as Nizami culture and asked political leaders to stop distorting facts about the Nizam for politi cal gains.

HYDERABAD: Bristling at the pitch by Yogi Adityanath for renaming Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has hit back saying that the Uttar Pradesh chief minister's generation may end but the city will continue to be called as Hyderabad. Adityanath had on Saturday during a mega roadshow in the Malkajgiri area of Hyderabad ahead of the local body election said that the city will be renamed Bhagyanagar if the BJP is voted to power in Telangana. "... we renamed Faizabad as Ayodhya and Allahabad as Prayagraj after BJP came into power in Uttar Pradesh. Then why can't Hyderabad be renamed as Bhagyanagar?" Adityanath had said. This drew a sharp retort from Owaisi who said: "... Your entire generation will end but Hyderabad's name will remain as Hyderabad, the elections are between Hyderabad and Bhagyanagar, and if you want Hyderabad not to be renamed then vote for Majlis." The AIMIM chief said this late Saturday evening while campaigning for his
