Abstract:

The AsafJahi dynasty, popularly also known as the Nizams of Hyderabad ruled the princely state of Hyderabad from 1724 to 1948. They ruled the vast territory an extent of 2,65,61,280 acres of land comprising of 10,217 villages. After the acceptance of the subsidiary alliance in 1800, the Nizams were gradually becoming under the control of British. The Nizams enacted so many agrarian acts during the period from 1900-1948 with the influence of British imperialistic policies. These policies not only adversely affected the ownership relations and land rights of the farmers, but also, they fell into the debt trap. This paper mainly focusses the issue of rural indebtedness of Telangana region of princely state of Hyderabad during the period 1930-1945.
