HYDERABAD: NIZAM of Hyderabad & Rolls
Royce Story
One day during his visit to London, Nawab Of
Hyderabad was walking in casual dress in Bond
Street. He saw a Rolls Royce showroom and
went inside to inquire about the Price and
Features etc. of their cars.
Considering him a just another Poor Indian
citizen, showroom salesmen insulted him and
almost showed him the way out of the
showroom. After this insult, Nawab Of
Hyderabad came back to his Hotel room and
asked his servants to call the showroom that
Nawab Of Hyderabad is interested in
purchasing their few Cars.
After few hours Nawab reached the Rolls Royce
showroom again but with his full astonishing
royal manner and in his royal costume. Until he
reached the showroom there was already red
carpet on the floor and all the salesmen were
bent with respect. The Nawab purchased all the
six cars that they had at the showroom at that time
and paid the full amount with delivery costs.
After reaching India, Nawab ordered municipal
department to use all those six Rolls Royce cars
for cleaning and transporting the city’s waste.
World’s number one Rolls Royce cars were
being used for transportation of City’s waste,
the news spread all over the world rapidly and
the reputation of Rolls Royce Company was in
drains.
Whenever someone used to boast in Europe or
America that he owned a Rolls Royce, people
used to laugh saying, “Which one? The same
that is used in India for carrying the waste of the
City?”
Due to such reputation damages, sales of Rolls
Royce dropped rapidly and the revenue of company
owners started falling. Then they sent a
Telegram to the king in India for apologies and
requested to stop the transportation of waste in
Rolls Royce cars. Not only this but they also
offered Six new cars to Nawab free of cost..!!
Mukarram Jah was made the Nizam after his
grandmother died in 1967. Prince Mukarram
Jah was fond of expensive cars and the most
famous and expensive cars could be seen in his
garage. Today, his palace has been turned into
a museum and the cars can be seen in an
exhibition.
