The flag of South Kasai, a separatist entity which existed in the Congo from 1960 until 1962. Led by Albert Kalonji, a Baluba leader who had previously been a member of Patrice Lumumba's MNC, South Kasai, unlike Katanga, didn't actually formally declare independence. Kalonji would, however, declare himself the
mulopwe or monarch of South Kasai, this being a title used in the Luba Empire.
This flag is of Hyderabad State, a princely state in modern-day South India which briefly declared independence.
Hyderabad was founded by Mir Qamaruddin or Asaf Jah I, a Mughal governor and general who was of mixed Uzbek and Punjabi heritage. Qamaruddin became the
nizam or ruler of Hyderabad in 1724. According to folklore, before Qamaruddin went South to the Deccan, he met with a Sufi saint, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia. The saint gave him kulchas (a kind of flatbread) on a yellow cloth to eat - and Qamaruddin ate seven. The saint then told him that his descendants would reign for seven generations. Some say that the circle on the flag is a kulcha, and the yellow colour represents the yellow cloth. Hyderabad, under the 7th Nizam, Asaf Jah VII, or Mir Osman Ali Khan, declared independence briefly in 1948, before a widespread communist rebellion against the feudalistic system that existed and the intervention of the Indian army ended it for good. Today, Hyderabad is the capital of the state of Telangana, India's newest state.
