Biography
Sadiq Muhammad Khan Bahadur was born in 1862. He became Nawab of Bahawalpur on 25 March 1866, after the death of his father Mohammad Bahawal Khan IV. As he was still a minor, the British temporarily administered the region.[2] He was invested with full ruling powers at Derawar Fort on 28 November 1879. During his governance, he ordered for construction of many buildings in Bahawalpur including Daulat Khana,[3] Sadiq Garh Palace,[4] Noor Mahal[5] and Gulzar Mahal.[6]
In an 1899 account published in the Century Magazine, R.D. Mackenzie portrayed the Nawab as a representative of Indian royalty.[7] According to him, the Nawab chose to reside in a simple, square, flat-roofed palace within his estate, surrounded by buildings in various states of disrepair.[7] The account provides a detailed portrayal of the Nawab's lifestyle, which included traditional hunts, dances, and lavish displays of wealth, such as a jewel-encrusted sword and a famous diamond crown.[7] He also mentions the Nawab's energetic personality, implying that it may have been intensified by substance use, which ultimately contributed to his early death.[7]
