The transition from Persian to Urdu was associated with state politics.
There was a brewing tension between the locals Mulki of Hyderabad and the outsiders Ghaer-Mulkis, mostly the Urdu speaking elite of North India.
The Hindustanis who had come from British India were more averse with Urdu since they had been using it from their early part of life than Persian . They favored using Urdu in the affairs of the state.
Hindustani officials created a lobby which promoted Urdu in the state and it was officially replaced Persian language in 1884.
