'''Nawab Abul Quasim Owaisi, Mir Yousuf Ali Khan, Salar Jung III''' (1889–1949), commonly known as '''Salar Jung III''', was a nobleman and art collector from [[Hyderabad Deccan]] (Hyderabad State). He served as Prime Minister of Hyderabad Deccan during the reign of the seventh [[Nizam]], [[Mir Osman Ali Khan]]. In 1912, at the age of twenty-three, Salar Jung III succeeded Maharaja Sir [[Kishen Pershad]] as Prime Minister and served for two and a half years. He held the fourth-highest position among the Hyderabad Deccan nobility, below three members of the [[Paigah family]].

His extensive art collection is now held in Hyderabad's [[Salar Jung Museum]].<ref>{{cite news |title=How a Muslim aristocrat's art collection became a national treasure |url=https://www.therahnuma.com/how-a-muslim-aristocrats-art-collection-became-a-national-treasure/ |accessdate=4 August 2020 |work=The Rahnuma Daily |date=20 January 2019}}</ref> .

==Family==
Salar Jung III's paternal family, the [[Salar Jung family]], provided a number of Prime Ministers over five generations: [[Mir Alam Bahadur]], Nawab [[Mir Ali Zman Khan Muneer ul Mulk]], Nawab [[Mir Mohammad Ali Khan Shuja ud Dowla Salar Jung]], Nawab [[Mir Turab Ali Khan, Salar Jung I]], Nawab [[Mir Laiq Ali Khan Salar Jung II]]. Through his mother, Salar Jung III was the great-grandson of Nawab [[Syed Gulam Ali Khan]], [[Mansoor-Ud-Dowla]], the Nawab of [[Banaganapally]] and great-grandson of Nawab [[Syed Bahadur Ali Khan Karar Jung Mansoor ud Doula]], [[Madar-Ul-Maham]].

==Personal life==
Salar Jung III was passionate about collecting rare relics, artefacts, antiques and manuscripts, including illuminated [[Quran]]s. He is believed to have spent the lion's share of his money on his collection over a period of 35 years. The collection was exhibited privately at his family residence, [[Dewan Devdi]], until its relocation in 1968 to the [[Salar Jung Museum]], one of India's three National Museums.
