'''Mir Ali Khan, Asaf Jah II''' (7 March 1734 – 6 August 1803) was the 2nd [[Nizam]] of [[Hyderabad State]] in [[South India]] between 1762 and 1803. He was born on 7 March 1734 as fourth son to [[Asaf Jah I]] and Umda Begum. His official name is ''Asaf Jah II, ul-Mulk, ud-Daula, Nawab Mir 'Ali Khan, Fateh Jang, Sipah Salar, Nawab Subedar of the Deccan''.

==Nizam of Hyderabad==

===Faujdar of the Deccan===
Nizam Ali was appointed as the leading commander and administrator of the Deccan in the year 1759, his successful methods of fighting against the [[Maratha]]s had earned him much repute as a capable commander.

===Shah Alam II' – Subedar of the Deccan===
After the Marathas were routed during the [[Third Battle of Panipat]] in the year 1761, Nizam Ali and his army of 60,000 immediately advanced and repulsed them as far as [[Pune|Puna]] and forced them to sue for lasting peace. Nizam Ali then seized the [[Bidar Fort]] and later arrested Salabat Jung, this action of Nizam Ali Khan was ratified by the [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Shah Alam II]], who issued a [[Firman]] terminating [[Salabat Jung]] (supported by the [[French East India Company]]), from his position as the [[Subedar]] of [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] and appointing Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II as his successor.<ref>History of modern Deccan, 1720/1724-1948: Volume 1</ref>

===Supporting Shah Alam II===
Immediately after recapturing the throne Shah Alam II in 1772, came under the influence of [[Nizam Ali Khan]] the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]].

==Nizam's intervention against the Peshwa==
{{main|Battle of Rakshasbhuvan|Battle of Kharda}}

In 1762, [[Raghunathrao]] allied with the Nizam due to mutual distrust and differences with [[Madhavrao Peshwa]]. The Nizam marched towards [[Poona]], but little did he know that Rughunathrao was going to betray him. In 1763, [[Madhavrao I]] along with Rughunathrao defeated Nizam at [[Battle of Rakshasbhuvan]] and signed a treaty with the [[Marathas]].{{cn|date=July 2019}}

In 1795, he was defeated by [[Madhavrao II]]'s [[Maratha]]s at the [[Battle of Kharda]] and was forced to cede [[Daulatabad, Maharashtra|Daulatabad]], [[Aurangabad, Maharashtra|Aurangabad]] and [[Sholapur]] and pay an indemnity of Rs. 30 million.<ref>The Marathas 1600–1818, Band 2 by Stewart Gordon p.169</ref>

A [[France|French]] general, [[Michel Joachim Marie Raymond|Monsieur Raymond]], served as his military leader, strategist and advisor.<ref>{{cite news|title=Raymond's tomb languishes in neglect|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/article3470495.ece|work=The Hindu|date=30 May 2012|access-date=30 May 2012}}</ref>

==Fall of Mysore==
The following year, he realized that the fall of [[Tipu Sultan]] was imminent and thus, he entered into a [[Subsidiary alliance]] with the [[British East India Company]] {{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}. Thus [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad]], which is in both area and population comparable to the [[United Kingdom]], became a [[princely state]] within the [[British Raj]]. {{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}
