century before the Mughals captured the region. In 1724, Mughal
viceroy Asif Jah I declared his sovereignty and created his own
dynasty, known as the Nizam's of Hyderabad. The Nizam's
dominions became a princely state during the British Raj, and
remained so for 150 years, with the city serving as its capital. The
city continued as the capital of Hyderabad State after it was brought
into the Indian Union in 1948, and became the capital of Andhra
Pradesh after the States Reorganisation Act, 1956. Since
1956, Rashtrapati Nilayam in the city has been the winter office of

Telangana split from Andhra Pradesh and the city became joint
capital of the two states, a transitional arrangement scheduled to
end by 2025.
