Mir Alam was a nobleman who served as Prime Minister of Hyderabad State from 1804 until his death in 1808.[1] He belonged to the Salar Jung family. He was the grandfather of Salar Jung I. He served under Asaf Jah III.[2]
In 1800, as part of his ongoing rivalry with his predecessor Arastu Jah, the latter enticed Mir Alam to discredit James A. Kirkpatrick and demanded his execution.[3]
The Mir Alam tank in Hyderabad is named after him.
He died of leprosy, in Hyderabad.[4]
