This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Major (rank)|Major]] '''[[Nawab]] [[Sayyid]] Zulfikar Ali Khan Bahadur''', ((small|[[Nishan-e-Hamidiya|NH]])) (11 March 1934&nbsp;– 5 April 1992) was an Indian politician and an Indian army officer who ruled as [[Titular ruler|Titular]] [[:Category:Nawabs of Rampur|Nawab of Rampur]] from 1982 to 1992, succeeding his elder brother [[Murtaza Ali Khan Bahadur]].

==Early life==
Sayyid Zulfikar Ali Khan Bahadur was born at Rampur on 11 March 1934, the second son of Nawab Sir Sayyid [[Raza Ali Khan Bahadur]]. He  was commissioned into the [[Indian Army]]. He retired from the army as a [[Major (rank)|Major]], then worked as a tea planter in Assam for several years. In 1963, Zulfikar Ali entered the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly and served there for three years before becoming an MP in the [[Lok Sabha]] in 1967. In 1971, he was the Indian delegate to the 26th [[UN General Assembly]].

==Politics==
After retiring from the [[Indian Army]] as a major, Nawab Zulfikar Ali entered the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly and served there for three years before becoming an MP ([[Rampur, Uttar Pradesh|Rampur]]) in the Lok Sabha in 1967. He represented the Swatantra Party in the fourth general elections (4/3/1967 – 27/12/1970).<ref>http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/ls/lok04/state/04lsup.htm, p.1.</ref> He served as a [[Member of Parliament]] for four years before switching parties in the next general elections.

He won the next general election (15/3/1971 – 18/1/1977) as a member of the [[Indian National Congress]], becoming a member of the [[Fifth Lok Sabha]].<ref>http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/ls/lok05/state/05lsup.htm, p.2.</ref>

In a major turn of events, the Congress lost control of India for the first time in independent India in the Indian general election, (23/3/1977 – 22/8/1979). The election came after the end of [[The Emergency (India)|The Emergency]] that Prime Minister Gandhi had imposed in 1975; it effectively ended democracy, suppressed the opposition, and took control of the media with authoritarian measures. The opposition called for a restoration of democracy and Indians saw the election results as a repudiation of the Emergency.<ref>M.R. Masani, "India's Second Revolution," Asian Affairs (1977) 5#1 pp 19–38. p.3.</ref> The sixth general elections, which were conducted for 542 seats from 542 constituencies, represented 27 Indian states and union territories.<ref>"General Election of India 1977, 6th Lok Sabha". Election Commission of India. p. 6. Retrieved 2010-01-13. p.4.</ref> The state of Emergency declared by the Congress government was the core issue in the 1977 elections. Civil liberties were suspended during the national emergency from 25 June 1975 to 21 March 1977 and Prime Minister Indira Gandhi assumed vast powers. Gandhi had become extremely unpopular for her decision and paid for it during the elections. Gandhi, on 23 January, called fresh elections for March and released all political prisoners. Four Opposition parties, the Organisation Congress, the Jan Sangh, the Bharatiya Lok Dal and the Socialist Party, decided to fight the elections as a single party, called the Janata Party. The Janata Party reminded voters of excesses and human rights violations during the Emergency, like compulsory sterilisation and imprisonment of political leaders. The Janata campaign said the elections would decide whether India would have "democracy or dictatorship." The Congress tried to woo voters by speaking about the need for a strong government but the tide was against it. The [[Indian National Congress]] lost all its seats in Uttar Pradesh and the Nawab too had to leave his seat. However, the Nawab came back strongly from his past defeat and won the seventh general elections (10/1/1980 – 31/12/1984)
as a member of the [[Indian National Congress]] becoming a member of the [[Seventh Lok Sabha]].<ref>http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/ls/lok07/state/07lsup.htm, p.5.</ref>

[[Nawab]] Zulfikar Ali Khan served as a [[Member of Parliament]] for four years before he contested the eighth general elections (31/12/1984 – 27/11/1989). Once again, he won the election by a large number of votes and became a member of the [[Eighth Lok Sabha]] representing the [[Indian National Congress]].<ref>http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/ls/lok08/state/08lsup.htm, p.6.</ref>

The next general elections were held in 1989. The ninth general elections (2/12/1989 – 13/3/1991) and proved to be an uphill task for the [[Indian National Congress]]. The result was a loss for the Indian National Congress and Rajiv Gandhi, because all the opposition parties formed together a minority government under V. P. Singh and the National Front. The National Front was able to secure the first minority government, since 1947 Independence, with the help of the Left Parties and [[Bharatiya Janata Party]]. Even though Rajiv Gandhi had won the last election by a landslide, this election saw him trying to fight off scandals that had marred his administration. The Congress only managed to win fifteen out of the eighty five seats in [[Uttar Pradesh]] out of which one seat belonged to [[Nawab]] Zulfikar Ali Khan. He went on to become a member of the [[Ninth Lok Sabha]].<ref>http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/ls/lok09/state/09lsup.htm, p.7.</ref>

He contested a total of seven general elections, winning five and losing two.

==Titular Nawab==
Following his brother's death on 8 February 1982, Zulfikar Ali succeeded him as titular [[Nawab of Rampur]].

==Personal life==
In 1956, Sayyid Zulfikar Ali Khan Bahadur married Her Highness Nawab Mehtab Dulhan uz-Zamani Roshan Ara [[Noor Bano (politician)|Noor Bano]] Begum Sahiba (11 November 1939–), the daughter of [[Amin ud-din Ahmad Khan]], the [[Governor of Himachal Pradesh]] and [[Nawab of Loharu]].((CN|date=July 2020)) The couple had one son and two daughters.((CN|date=July 2020))
