The Golconda Sultanate, terminating the older Kingdom of Golconda (since c.1364) was established in Telangana in 1463
as a vassall of the Bahmani Sultanate. It was ruled by the Qutb Shahi Dynasty. Golconda declared'
independence in 1518. Golconda served as the capital from 1463 to 1589, when the capital was moved to newly-built
Hyderabad. In 1687 Golconda was conquered and annexed by the Mughal Empire. In the early 18th century the Mughal Empire disintegrated. Chin Qulich Khan Asaf Jah Imir Qamaruddin Siddiqi, granted the title Nizam-ul-Mulk by the Mughal Emperor, established what was to become the Nizamate of Hyderabad, ruled by the Asaf Jahi Dynasty. Hyderabad was one of the largest princely states where the E.I.C., and in her succession, British India, applied indirect rule. In 1853 Berar was split from Hyderabad. When India was released into independence in 1947, the Nizam of Hyderabad rejected the call of the Union of India to join it. In 1948 Indian forces occupied Hyderabad; the Nizam was deposed, the territory partitioned. Presently Hyderabad territory is divided among Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Within the region of Telangana (Andhra Pradesh) there is a movement aiming at the formation of a separate state by that name.
