Hyderabad Princely State

Japanese: ハイダラーバード藩王国 - ハイダラーバードはんおうこく

The largest and most important Muslim princely state in the central part of the Deccan Plateau in India. It was founded in 1724 by Niẓām-ul-Mulk (1671-1748), the governor of the Deccan under the Mughal dynasty, who became independent. Successive kings were called Nizams. The majority of the inhabitants were Hindu. After the death of the first Nizam, it became embroiled in battles with Britain, France, Mysore, and the Maratha Kingdom, but in 1998 it came under British protection and became a limited semi-independent princely state with only internal power. When India gained independence, the Nizam asserted its independent status, and in November 1947, he signed a one-year status quo agreement with the Indian government, but the Indian side insisted on annexation, and in September 1948, he sent troops in under the pretext of maintaining public order, which also served to suppress the Telangana struggle.

インドのデカン高原中央部に存した最大かつ最重要のムスリム藩王国。ムガル朝下のデカン長官ニザーム･アルムルクNiẓām‐ul‐Mulk(1671‐1748)が1724年に独立して創建。王は代々ニザームを称した。住民は圧倒的にヒンドゥーが多い。初代ニザーム死後，英仏，マイソール，マラーター王国との戦いに巻き込まれるが，98年イギリスの保護下に入り，内政権のみもつ限定的半独立的藩王国となる。インド独立に際しニザームは独立的地位を主張し，1947年11月インド政府と1年間の現状維持協定を結ぶが，インド側は併合策に固執し，48年9月テーランガーナー闘争の弾圧を兼ねた治安維持の名の下に軍隊を進入させた。
