Hyderabad:
Prince Shahamat Jah, the grandson of the last Nizam of Hyderabad State Mir Osman Ali Khan, passed away at a hospital on Sunday (July 30).
He was about 70 years old.
He was born to Prince Moazzam Jah whose complete name was Mir Shujaat Ali Khan. He also went by his penname Shaji and wrote poetry in Urdu. Nizam had named Moazzam Jahi Market after his name.
Prince Moazzam Jah was the second son born to Mir Osman Ali Khan. His elder brother was Azam Jah also known as Mir Himayat Ali Khan.
His first wife was Princess Niloufer, niece of the last Turkish Sultan and Caliph Prince Abdul Majeed. Niloufer who built a hospital for children in the Red Hills area left her husband and settled down in France. She had no children.
Prince Moazzam Jahs married Razia Begum after separation from Princess Niloufer. His third wife was Anwari Begum who bore the only child to him—Shahamat Jah.
Shahamat Jah’s two marriages were unsuccessful. He remained alone and aloof and died childless.
After selling off his house at Red Hills, he moved to his sister’s home in Banjara Hills. He had a limited circle of friends. Most of the people who gathered around him took advantage of ‘innocence’ and deserted him.
In the evening of Sunday his body was being readied for burial at Masjid-e-Joodi, King Kothi, where his grandfather Osman Ali Khan has his mazaar.
Prince Muffakham Jah, Prince Azmet Jah, the titular head of the Nizam family, and his mother Princess Esra sent their deep condolences to the relatives and friends of Shahamat Jah. Himayat Ali Mirza, his nephew, who was taking care of the deceased took him to a hospital in Banjara Hills where he breathed his last.

Her son is stuck in Sumy bordering Russia
A school teacher in Nizamabad, who had travelled 1,400 km on a two-wheeler all by herself to bring back her son stranded in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, following the sudden imposition of lockdown in March 2020, is in distress again.
Razia Begum’s 19-year-old Nizammudin Aman is stuck in Sumy, a city in north-eastern Ukraine, where he is pursuing MBBS first-year studies. He is among the 500-odd Indian students cooped up in hostel rooms or bunkers even as Russia has escalated the military offensive on the war-hit country. The students stuck there say Sumy, close to the Russia border, has been badly affected. The nearest metro station was blown up, and roadways are damaged too, they say. The distressed mother has written to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Home Minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali, and senior State government officials on Wednesday requesting help in evacuating her son from Ukraine.
Back in March 2020, Nizam had gone to Nellore to drop off a friend. They were undergoing coaching for NEET-PG. As lockdown was suddenly announced, Ms Razia, who works as a teacher at Salampad Camp village at Bodhan in Nizamabad, set off on a solo journey to rescue her stranded son.
With just a pack of rotis, fruits, and a five-litre fuel can on April 6, 2020, Ms Razia embarked on a long, arduous journey on her two-wheeler. She drove alongside heavy vehicles on highways, even at night, and reached Nellore the next day. After picking up her son, they drove back to their home in Bodhan. Ms Razia lost her husband, also a school teacher, 14 years ago due to kidney failure. In the letter addressed to the government officials, she stated that the medical condition and helplessness made her son opt for the medical profession so that he could serve such patients in future.
Nizam is once again stranded, this time in a far-away country, amid a hostile situation, and Ms Razia cannot stop feeling anxious. “They are not able to get out of there since it is not safe to step out. I appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to rescue my son along with other Indian students stuck there,” she appealed.

A teenager who doesn’t need to be told to study, who makes no demands on his parents even while preparing for his board exams — and then goes on to score a perfect 100%. Jyoti Punwani salutes Mateen Jamadar’s scholastic achievement against all odds.
He’s 18, but looks 15.
A teenager who doesn’t need to be told to study, who makes no demands on his parents even while preparing for his board exams – and then goes on to score a perfect 100%.
Meet Mateen Jamadar, the pride of Mannur village in Gulbarga district, for having scored 600/600 in Karnataka’s PUC (pre university course) exam, the results of which were announced on Friday, July 23, 2021.
His father Nabisaab works as a mason on construction sites in the village, earning about Rs 500 a day; his mother Razia Begum cleans her neighbour’s field all day to come home with barely Rs 150.
Both parents have studied upto Class 10 and wanted their three sons to study further, but their eldest had to give up after Class 10 thanks to an eye affliction. He is now handicapped and at home, unable to work.
Their second son has done well, he’s a constable in Bengaluru; but it is their youngest who has brought them fame they had never imagined.
Razia Begum says she knew Mateen would do well. “Since he was a child he would come home and sit with his books,” she recalls. “No playing, no roaming around.”
That made Mateen his village school topper; he scored 619 out of 625 in his Class 10 Boards.
Mateen says he expected to do well in the PUC. This year, the evaluation for the final PUC exam had to be done based on previous performance since the exam was not held due to COVID-19 restrictions.
“I had scored 98.7% in my 10th and around the same in my First Year PUC,” he says over the phone. “I thought I would get 99%.”
Always fond of studies, Mateen decided to seek out a good college after completing his 10th from the government school in his village. The PUC college in his village wasn’t up to the mark.
His quest took the village boy more than 600 km away from his home to the MMU PU College in Ramanagara. The magnet that drew him there was the hostel run by the Rahman Education Foundation in Ramanagara city.
The Foundation provides free stay for five years to meritorious boys to prepare them for the UPSC exams. The stay includes not just food, but also access to teachers, computers, sports facilities, and lectures by visiting IAS and Karnataka Administrative Service officers.
It was one such talk by IAS officer Mohammad Mohsin that made Mateen decide his final goal — the IAS. “The IAS gives you respect,” said the youngster.

Mohsin, a Karnataka batch IAS officer hailing from Bihar, tells Rediff.com that the Rahman Foundation had invited him to spend half a day to motivate their hostelites. “I told the boys that no one from my family had ever joined the IAS; we are a business family. But I wanted to do something for the country.”
It was Mohsin who brought Mateen Jamadar’s achievement to the world by tweeting (external link) about him. “I wanted to show students that poverty need not mean the end of the road,” said Mohsin.
It may well have become so for Mateen.
Forced by the lockdown last year to return home as his hostel shut down, Mateen had to depend on online teaching. When he left for college, his parents had given him a simple phone, just good enough to stay in touch. Students were anyway not allowed a phone by the hostel authorities. The latter would keep the students’ phones with them, and give them back for just one hour every Sunday to call up home.
That phone was no use for online classes. To buy himself an Android, Mateen had to use his annual scholarship of Rs 6,000 given by the Karnataka government, but even that wouldn’t have been enough had his father not dipped into the funds he had saved slowly over the years.
Of course, that meant working harder to make up, but said Nabisaab, “We have to do that much for our children; and this boy has turned out to be so clever, we have to support him!”

Nabisaab and Razia Begum used to work in Mumbai and Pune earlier, on construction sites. But it was the desire to educate their children that took them back to their village, said Nabisaab.
His youngest son has made sure that’s a decision he will never regret. As Mateen said, “More than me, my parents are overjoyed at my result.”
Razia Begum, a government teacher in Bodhan town of Nizamabad district, started her journey for Nellore, 700 km away in Andhra Pradesh Monday morning and returned home Wednesday evening.

A 50-year old woman from Telangana’s Nizamabad district travelled on a two-wheeler to Nellore 700 km away to pick up her teen son stuck in Andhra Pradesh due to the COvid-19 lockdown.
Razia Begum, a government teacher in Bodhan town of Nizamabad district, started her journey on Monday morning riding her Scooty and reached Nellore town in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday afternoon. She picked up her 17-year old son Mohammed Nizamuddin, who was stuck at his friend’s place in Nellore, and headed back home. She was back by Wednesday evening, covering a total of 1,400 km in three days.
It helped that Bodhan assistant commissioner of police V Jayapal Reddy had helped her out with a letter that asked authorities to let her travel to Nellore and bring her son back. Razia Begum said she was stopped at several places by the police in the two states on account of the lockdown but was allowed to pass because of the police officer’s letter.
Razia narrated her tale to reporters at Kamareddy on her way to Bodhan on Wednesday. She had lost her husband 12 years ago due to illness and brought up her two children, a son and a daughter.
Nizamuddin, who completed his Class 12 in 2019, has been preparing for medical entrance examination by joining a coaching institute in Hyderabad. On March 12, Nizamuddin went to Nellore along with his friend whose father was hospitalised. The lockdown took them by surprise and he was stuck with his friend due to the lockdown imposed in the state on March 23.
Razia, who did not hear from her son for a long time, came to know that he was at his friend’s house in Nellore. “I approached the ACP and sought his help in bringing my son back to Bodhan. He gave me a letter permitting me to travel despite lockdown and also appealing to the Andhra Pradesh police to allow me to into the state,” she said.
“I travelled continuously through deserted roads and dusty villages midway. I was not scared at all,” she said.
The police stopped her at several places, but when they saw the letter from the Bodhan ACP, they allowed her to proceed. “Even at the inter-state borders, I had no issues, as the police cooperated with me. They advised me to take breaks for every two hours of journey so that I did not get tired,” she said.
She did not even stay in Nellore for a day, but immediately began her return journey. “The only wish to see my son gave me so much energy. Nothing more than that,” Razia said and thanked the police for their cooperation.
ACP Jayapal Reddy said he was very impressed by Razia’s determination to bring her son back home. “I was moved by her love for her son. I only requested all the police officers on the way from Bodhan to Nellore to allow her. She thanked me for the help I have rendered,” Reddy said.
