The Nizam sent two eminent architects, Nawab Zain Yar Jung and Syed Ali Raza, on a study tour of beautiful buildings around the world. They met noted Belgian architect, Ernest Jasper, in Egypt and enlisted his services for designing a university at Hyderabad.[4] He worked on the Osmania University under Jasper.[5]

He was later sent as an emissary of the Nizam to negotiate terms of the merger of Hyderabad State with India.

He was granted the title of Nawab by the Nizam of Hyderabad. He received Padma Bhushan in 1956.[5]
