Tyabji family

The Tyabji family, also known through its various branches as the Tyabji-Hydari, Tyabji-Fyzee, and Tyabji-Futehally family, constitutes a prominent Indian Muslim lineage distinguished for its contributions to public service, intellectual life, and the Indian independence movement. Members of the family have held influential positions in politics, diplomacy, law, academia, the arts, and the armed forces. Several individuals served as leading figures within the Indian National Congress.

The family has produced numerous civil servants, legal professionals, scholars, scientists, and artists who have shaped India's modern history. Its members have been educated at elite institutions such as the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, and have often been closely associated with colonial and post-independence governance structures. In addition to their public roles, the Tyabjis have been connected through marriage and descent to various princely and aristocratic families, including the royal houses of Hyderabad, Bengal, Wanaparthy, and Janjira.
