From his villa on the French Riviera, he launched a daring, high-stakes plan to revive the institution and alter the course of world history. Enter British India: specifically, the princely state of Hyderabad, ruled by the Nizam, the world's richest man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eBrokered by Indian politician Shaukat Ali, a strategic royal marriage united Islam’s two greatest houses, wedding the Islamic West and East. This grand alliance cemented Hyderabad as a vibrant global capital of the Islamic world, positioning Abdulmejid’s grandson—the Ottoman prince and Nizam-in-waiting—to claim the ultimate leadership mantle. But the tumultuous events of the 1947 Partition and the annexation of Hyderabad brought a sudden, dramatic end to the dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eImran Mulla’s \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"14\"\u003eThe Indian Caliphate\u003c\/i\u003e rescues this astonishing history from near-oblivion, introducing readers to an incredible cast of monarchs, politicians, and visionaries.
