Titular vs Pretender

edit

Azmet Jah is the pretender to the title of Nizam of Hyderabad.

He is not the titular Nizam of Hyderabad as all titles in India were abolished in 1971.

The Govt of India recognizes no titles. To be a titular ruler, an actual government has to recognize your title. HyderabadEditor (talk) 11:58, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

I am going ahead and removing the "titular" part from the article for now, this needs a talkpage consensus before coming into article.Iamsanatani (talk) 05:26, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
It's absolutely correct that following the introduction of the 26th Amendment to the Constitution of India, the Government of India ceased recognizing titles. Titular may be replaced by Pretender. Dnl.krm (talk) 05:48, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
