Nazeeruddin Ahmed is the founder of Bahadur Yar Jung Academy of Hyderabad, (A.P.), India. He has, over the past 50 years, painstakingly collected every bit of information available about Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung wherever he could find it in India and Pakistan.
His biography of Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung is the most comprehensive to date. His is also the most extensive collection of not only anything ever written about the late Nawab and Majlise Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), but also the collection of his original correspondence, photographs, speeches and essays. Besides the biography he has published 21 books covering a range of topics on the multifaceted personality of Bahadur Yar Jung. This entire material is now at your disposal at the click of a mouse.
Nazeeruddin Ahmed’s collection was acquired by Zulfiqar Ali Khan of Chicago a few years ago. He was kind enough to allow us to scan the material for this website, thus helping us to ensure its preservation and easy availability for those interested in the life and times of Bahadur Yar Jung.
The website includes an audio recording of Bahadur Yar Jung’s presidential address at the annual gathering of MIM at Darussalam, Hyderabad on June 8, 1940. Certain portions of the speech show the quality of recording has declined with passage of time, but fail to hide the excellence of his oration. This is the only known extant recording of his speech. Any other recordings would be a rare and a welcome discovery.
Bahadur Yar Jung Academy of Hyderabad will continue to add more material on the website as and when it becomes available. Readers are requested to share any relevant material that they may have. Academy will be pleased to review and add it to the website and also recognize its source.
Some entries which are hand written and some aged and yellowed newspaper clippings will be typed and replaced soon to enhance legibility and reading experience.
Academy is launching this website on 25th of June, his death anniversary, to commemorate and celebrate his exemplary life.
