Hyderabad State
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search


The Asafia flag of Hyderabad state
Hyderābād pronunciation (help·info) (Telugu: హైదరాబాదు Urdu: حیدر آباد, Hindi: हैदराबाद) was an autonomous princely state of south-central India from 1724 until 1948, ruled by a hereditary Nizam, and an Indian state from 1948 to 1956. Its capital city Hyderabad was for most of that time one of India's four largest cities.
Hyderabad was founded by the Qutb Shahi dynasty of Golconda. It was built by Persian architects and was known as Isfahan-e-Nau, The New Isfahan due to its beauty and architectural style. The basic architectural design of the city was based upon the Quranic model of Paradise.1
In 1686 the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb campaigned in the Deccan to tame the Marathas and conquer the independent Deccan states. Before the campaign, the Mughals had controlled the northwestern Deccan, including Khandesh and Berar, but Mughal control ended at the Godavari River. Aurangzeb conquered Golconda and Bijapur in 1687, extending Mughal control south of the Krishna River.


Hyderabad and Berar, 1903
The Mughal Empire began to weaken during the reign of Aurangzeb's grandson, Muhammad Shah. A Mughal official, Asif Jah, defeated a rival Mughal governor to seize control of the empire's southern provinces, declaring himself Nizam-al-Mulk of Hyderabad in 1724. The Mughal emperor, under renewed attack from the Marathas, was unable to prevent it.
The seniormost (21-gun) princely state in British India, Hyderabad was an 82,000 square mile (212,000 kmē) region in the Deccan ruled by the Asif Jah dynasty of Muslim rulers, who had the title of Nizam and style of His Exalted Highness. The Nizams ruled over the wealthiest state in India at that time, controlling some 16,500,000 people. During the height of Hyderabad's wealth in the 1930s the Nizam was the world's richest man, famous for employing 11,000 servants and using the Jacob Diamond as a paperweight. Administratively, it was made up of sixteen districts, grouped into four divisions. Aurangabad division included Aurangabad, Bhir, Nander, and Parbhani districts; Gulbargah (Gulbargah) division included Bidar, Gulbarga, Osmanabad, and Raichur districts; Gulshanabad or Medak division included Atraf-i-Baldah, Mahbubnagar, Medak, Nalgonda (Nalgundah), and Nizamabad districts, and Warangal division included Adilabad, Karimnagar, and Warangal districts.
When India became independent on August 15, 1947, the Muslim Nizam refused to accede to the Indian Union, although it entirely surrounded his territory, demanding the right as ruler of 18 million (overwhelmingly Hindu) subjects to rule a separate state. The resulting standoff ended with the state's occupation by Indian troops between September 13 - September 17, 1948 and its incorporation as a state of India the next year. The present Nizam (the eighth), Nawwab Mir Barkat Ali Khan, Mukarram Jah Bahadur, currently lives in Turkey.


Hyderabad state in 1909
In November 1956 the State of Hyderabad was divided along linguistic lines, with Telangana, the northeastern Telugu-speaking region including the city of Hyderabad, assigned to the newly created Andhra Pradesh state, the Kannada-speaking western districts assigned to the state of Karnataka, and Marathwada, the Marathi-speaking northwestern region of the state, assigned to Bombay state, later Maharashtra.
Due to the long rule of the nawabs and the muslim rulers, there is still a long lasting cultural impact that continues to this day. For instance many of the local dialects of Telugu and Kannada are laced with Urdu - the official language during the Nizam rule. The cuisine too incorporates the Biryani a popular main dish and several other influences.

On 18 May 2007, the old city area in Hyderabad, capital of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, experienced a bomb blast. The blast occurred inside the Mecca Masjid,located very close to Charminar. The blast was caused by a cellphone-triggered pipe bomb. Fourteen people were reported dead in the immediate aftermath, of whom five were killed by the police firing after the incident while trying to quell the mob.[3] According to the Deccan Chronicle, Friday's bomb comprised a high explosive substance filled in a 10-inch by 3-inch pipe. The Andhra Pradesh Forensic Science Laboratory claims that RDX and TNT were used in the 10" by 3" pipe bomb. The bomb was placed under a heavy granite slab that broke in two. Police later said that the slab had taken the force of the impact and saved many lives.

The blast occurred near the open air section of the Mecca Masjid. At the time of the blast more than 10,000 people were inside the mosque premises, for the Friday prayers. The injured were treated at the Osmania hospital in Hyderabad.

Five individuals died as a result of the police firing. This has caused considerable controversy. The Telegraph reports Local politician MIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi has stated that police could have could have controlled the situation without resorting to firing.

Police wanted to cover up their mistakes, their wrong doings and they have ensured that innocent people die in police firing"

Some of those who were injured in the firing have claimed that they were doing nothing wrong.

  1. One person has claimed that he was fired at while he was proceeding towards his house by that side
  2. A 17-year-old boy has claimed that he was fired at while he was going into the Asra Hospital to donate his blood for one of his relatives.
  3. Yet another has claimed that he was fired at while he was trying to lift a fallen man due to bullet injuries
Local Muslim organisations have demanded immediate suspension of police officers involved in 'unwarranted' and 'unprovoked' firing on protestors following the bomb blas

I don't think so.
I think the picture was taken atleast 70 years ago.

With beautiful sites like these, you Indians don't need a passport to enjoy a lifetime of touristic delights! Too bad that with my Pakistani origin, there are too many visa hurdles...

Who took these pics? They are beautifully shot...and the camera must be superb...

Adding a few photos of a lovey monument in Hyderabad - Saidanuma's Tomb. A heritage Monument with intricate and ornate architecture, information on Google states this to be Qutb Shahi architecture.

Probably not a tourist spot that one visits. Being so inconspicuously hidden between modern concrete buildings and situated on the very busy Tank Bund road, chances are one even misses noticing the structure. A building that always caught my attention during my many visits to Hyderabad, and regretted not having the camera with me. No complaints any more...
