Nawab Abul Quasim Owaisi, Mir Yousuf Ali Khan, Salar Jung III famously known as 'Salar Jung III' was the fourth in order of nobility after the three Paigah. Nawab Mir Yousuf Ali Khan, Salar Jung III, was Prime Minister of Hyderabad Deccan during the reign of VII Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan. He succeeded Maharaja Sir Kishen Pershad as the Prime Minister in 1912 when he was 23 years old, but resigned two and half years later.
The family of Salar Jung from his paternal side were serving for five generations as Prime Ministers including Nawab 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. From his maternal side, he 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 in erstwhile state of Hyderabad.
Nawab Salar Jung III was passionate about collecting rare relics, artefacts, antiques and manuscripts, including the illuminated Holy Qurans. He is believed to have spent a lion's share of his money on his collection over a period of 35 years. The collection, though now at a new location, was exhibited privately at their residence, Dewan Devdi until its relocation in 1968 at the present premises of The Salar Jung Museum.
