Prince Azam Jah & Princess Durre Shahvaar

|
Description:
|
Till 1948, there existed an ancient seljuk kingdom in India, Devlet-e-Usmani [also known as Dominion of Hyderabad]. It was ruled over by the 'Nizam'. My grandfather was an ambassador of the Nizam to the Sublime Porte [1908-1910]. In November 1931, my grandmother acted as an intermediary in arranging the marriage of the Osmanli pricess to the heiraparent to Devlet-e-Usmani, Prince Azam Jah. Prince Azam Jah, Princess Durre Shahvaar and my grandmother [in between] appear in the picture taken just after the marriage ceremony. Prince Mua'zzam Jah, born from the union, is the grandson of the Osmanli Sultan, Abdul Majeed, living in exile in France, at the time of the marriage. Princess Durre Shahvaar died in December 2007 in London, and I attended her funeral service. It is truly said, "Sic transit gloria mundi".
