Descendants of Asaf Jahi lineage seek recognition, allowance hike
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Descendants of Nizam rulers I to VI urged Azmet Jah, the successor to Nizam VIII Mukarram Jah, to take into confidence all families of the Asaf Jahi lineage and resolve pending issues, including monetary ones, as many descendants are living in poverty. Since the successor will be donning the mantle and carry forward the rich legacy, it's high time that all the descendants get due recognition," said Mohd Moizuddin Khan, general-secretary of the society. Khan said that the issue of paltry monthly allowance being provided to the descendants was taken up with the late Mukarram Jah, but to no avail. "All our committee members representing the Mursheeden Sahebzadas and Sahebzadis of Sarfekhas Mubarak of the successive Nizams of Hyderabad of the Asif Jahi dynasty represented about the deficiencies of the monthly allowance to late Mukarram Jah Bahadur.
