Hyderabad Subah,[1] also known as Golconda Subah,[2] was a province of the Mughal Empire encompassing the eastern Deccan region of the Indian subcontinent. It was created in 1687, during the reign of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, by the annexation of the Golconda Sultanate. It later began to secede in the 18th century as the Mughal Empire declined and became fully independent as part of the Nizam-administered Deccan.

The province was given the official epithet of Dar-ul Jihad (House of War) upon annexation by Aurangzeb.[3]
