The Nizam of Hyderabad was one of a kind, with a name as large as his realm:
Rustum-i-Dauran,
Arustu-i-Zeman,
Wal Mamalik,
Asif Jah,
Nawab Mir Osman,
Alikhar Banadur,
MaSAFRUL Mulk Nizam Al-Mulk,
Sipah Solar,
Fateh Jang,
His Exalted Highness,
Most Faithful Ally of the British Crown.
It was bigger than he was: 90 pounds, five foot three inches. And it was in better condition than his teeth, long since rotted to brownish fangs by chewing betel nuts.
