Maharaja Sir Kishen Pershad Bahadur Yamin us-Sultanat GCIE was an Indian noble who served as Prime Minister of Hyderabad twice.
Born to a Hindu Khatri family, Pershad studied at a western school under the patronage of Salar Jung I. He was a childhood friend of the Nizam and was a staunch Nizam loyalist throughout his life. In 1892, Pershad became the peshkar of the state. Nine years later, Nizam Mahbub Ali Khan appointed him dewan of the state. During his first tenure as dewan, he was credited with increasing the state's revenue and helping victims of the Great Musi Flood of 1908. In 1926, he was reappointed as dewan. During this period, he passed the Mulki regulations, which favoured local citizens over British for administrative positions.
A proponent of the Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb, Pershad also wrote Urdu and Persian poems which were influenced by Sufism. He was a patron of poetry, paintings and music. He had seven wives including both Hindus and Muslims.
