<p></p><p></p></h3>What makes Hyderabad such a special destination is its
multi-cultural mix of people. <p></p>
<h3>Language</h3>
Hyderabad India
<p>There are four languages in Hyderabad: Hindi, Deccani-Urdu, Telugu and
English. English is the language of business and administration, and is
widely spoken and understood. Most Hyderabadis are bilingual, and speak
their mother tongue as well as English.</p>
<p></p><h3>Religion</h3>With this mixture of people, Hyderabad is also a
mixture of religions.
Hyderabad’s skyline boasts the distinctive minarets of mosques,
intricate figurines of Hindu temple gods, beautiful Churches and
distinctive architecture of Gurudwaras. The main religions are
Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and Sikhism.<p></p><p></p>
<h3>Security & Safety</h3>
Hyderabad India
<p>Hyderabad has a well-founded reputation as one of the safest cities in
the world.
Crime rates are very low and the streets are safe to walk in any time
of the day or night. However, I do recommend that visitors to my city
take the normal precaution of keeping their valuables in a safe place
at all times.</p>
<p>The Andhra Pradesh Government has and will continue to
be vigilant in ensuring that Hyderabad remains safe. It has stepped up
security measures at key installations and other sensitive places. The
Government has also made it known that extremism originating from
religion or race has no place in Hyderabad and it will not hesitate to
take action against any extremist or terrorist groups or
individuals.</p><p></p><h3>Wine & Dine</h3>Hyderabad’s
multicultural population is reflected in the wide variety of excellent
5. Ignousolvedassignments.com
Thanks for visiting us!! Subscribe!! ☺ Page 5
restaurants offering a diversity of cuisine from around the
world.<p></p><h3>Tipping</h3>Tipping
is not encouraged as most hotels and restaurants in Hyderabad already
levy a service charge on customers' bills. Tipping is not a way of life
in Hyderabad and the practice is not
encouraged.<p></p><h3>Driving</h3>Minimum
age is 18 years with a valid state/provincial driver's license. An
international driver's license is required for visits beyond one month.
Cars are right-hand drive; driven on the left-hand side of the road.
<h3>Emergency Numbers</h3>
Hyderabad India
<UL>
<LI>Police 100<LI>Fire 101<LI>Ambulance 102</UL>
<p>These are the numbers in Hyderabad, but they are usually the same in
other cities of India.</p>
<h3>Passport</h3>According
to law, you must have your passport with you at all times. To check
into a hotel you must show your passport to the hotel clerk and fill
out a form with your passport and visa information. If the police ask
to see your passport, you must show it to them. They have the right to
ask you for it at any time, for no reason.
<h3>Electric Current</h3>
Hyderabad India
<p>Standard voltage is 220-240 volts AC 50 cycles per second. Most hotels
are
equipped with transformers for 110-120 volts AC, 60 cycles per second
appliances. This is different from America and England, so to use your
tape recorder, etc., you need a converter and an adapter for your plug,
which you can get at certain Indian appliance stores in your own
country. Socket sizes in India vary, so it is a good idea to get a
universal adapter which is available at airports and at special travel
stores. Sockets have three round pins, which is similar to the ones
used in Europe. European plugs will go into the sockets, but the Indian
pins are a little thicker and the plug will be a little loose, so the
connection may not be so good.</p>
<p><b>NOTICE:</b> There are many power failures in India. So it is a good
idea to have a good flashlight (torch).</p><p></p><h3>Smoking</h3>Smoking
is prohibited in public buses, elevators, theaters, cinemas,
air-conditioned restaurants, shopping centers and government
offices.<p></p><h3>What to Wear</h3>
Hyderabad has a moderate temperature ranging from 15 to 40 degrees.
Light and summer clothing made from natural fabrics like cotton is best
for everyday wear. Casual dress is acceptable for most situations and
occasions but some establishments may require a more formal dress code.
It is always advisable to check beforehand on dress regulations, if
any.<p></p><h3>Acceptable Dress</h3>In
you are well dressed, you will usually be treated better in Hyderabad -
India, especially when you are doing official business. When going to
religious places you should dress very conservatively.
<p></p><h3>Women Travelers</h3>
Hyderabad India
<p>It is best for women not to travel alone, especially if they have never
been to India before. Many men in India think western women to be easy.
Women are often subjected to being stared at, handled, peaked at
through a hole in a hotel room door, and may receive obscene comments.
These situations are not usually a serious threat.</p><p>It is important
that women dress modestly. Women in India do not normally show their
shoulders or knees, or wear tight fitting clothes, or shorts. It is
best not to wear clinging, or low cut clothes. The bra-less look should
be avoided.</p><p>Women usually do not shake hands with men, and
certainly any physical contact beyond this is asking for trouble.

Having a casual conversation with a man is considered a reason for a
man to proceed further. Indian women and men who don’t know each other,
unless they are highly educated, just don’t talk with each other in
India. If you feel that a man is coming into your space, more than
likely he is. Usually you can just request them to stay away from you.
If someone touches you apparently innocently, it usually isn’t. </p><p>If
you have a problem on a train or bus, approach the ticket collector and
ask them politely to help you. If the ticket collector won’t help you,
ask to see the conductor of the train. The conductor is usually a
well-educated man, who you should speak to respectfully, and who will
usually be helpful.Groping is a normal thing. It is standard for women
to be groped (handled) on the local trains. That is why there are
separate compartments for women. Even just walking in the station,
women can be handled. If a woman goes into a very crowded situation
with many men, such as a bus, especially if she is by herself, it is
not unusual for her to be groped. This happens with Indian ladies
too.</p><p>If
you are a woman traveling alone, it could be a good idea to travel by
air-conditioned or first-class. There are much less passengers on these
carriages, and they usually have had more contact with foreigners, so
they are easier to deal with.Women can request a ladies compartment in
a 2nd class carriage of a train. Many trains have such a compartment.
Also, most of the time there is a special ladies’ queue (line) for
purchasing train tickets. This means that ladies can go to the front of
a queue to purchase tickets for trains and no one will say anything.
Most railway stations have ladies’ waiting rooms. </p><p></p>
<h3>Begging</h3>
Hyderabad India
<p>There are beggars, and then there are sadhus or saintly persons who
accept
donations. I do not think it is a good idea to give anything to the
average beggar, unless you give them food. Giving to a saintly person
is actually to the benefit of the giver. The difficulty with giving to
a saintly person is to know who is actually saintly.</p>
<p>One problem about giving to beggars by temples or holy places,
especially if they
are children, is that if you give to one, you may have a hundred
persons surround you and ask you for money. Also, it is a bad policy to
give any money to small children, because they usually give all the
money to their parents or some other adult. In this way the parents do
not have to work, nor is it profitable for the parents to give their
children an education. </p><p></p>
<h3>Indian Culture</h3>
Hyderabad India
<br>
1. Don’t overload your plate, you are expected to finish everything.<br>2.
Never put objects on a temple or someone’s personal altar in their home or
on sacred items, such as a religious book.<br>3. Never point the soles of
your feet towards an altar in a temple, other people, or holy sites.<br>4.
Remove your shoes when entering someone’s home, even if they tell you
it is all right to wear your shoes. It is almost never all right.<br>5.
Don’t take photograph without permission.<p></p><h3>Credit
Cards</h3>American Express, Diners Club, Mastercard and Visa are widely
accepted.
<p></p><h3>Banking & Money Changing </h3>
<p>Hyderabad India</p>
Banks
throughout Hyderabad generally open at 9.30am and close at 3.30pm Mondays
to Fridays, and 9.30am to 12.30am on Saturdays for transactions
of travellers' cheques and other financial matters. For convenience,
Automated teller machines (ATM) are open round-the-clock, offering the

MAESTRO or CIRRUS network system. Apart from the convenience of exchanging
money at all banks and hotels, money can also be exchanged
wherever the sign "Licensed Money Changer" is displayed. Most shopping
complexes have a licensed money changer. Visitors are discouraged from
changing money with unlicensed money changers.
<p></p><h3>Office Hours</h3>Business / government offices are usually open
from Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm
and Saturday, 9am - 1pm. Offices and shops are usually closed on Sunday,
but can be closed on a different day depending on the town.
<h3>Shopping Hours</h3>
Hyderabad India
<p>Shops open from 10am to 9pm daily. You needn't keep a sharp eye on your
watch
when you're shopping in Hyderabad. Our city also enjoys the reputation of
being one of the safest places to be in, so provided basic
precautions are taken, you can have peace of mind to shop and walk
around well into the night.</p>
is the center of telecommunications in India with 24-hour telex,
international direct dial (IDD) telephone, telegram and facsimile
services. Telephone country code is +91 and city code is 040. There are
many telephone service providers – AirTel, Idea, Reliance, Vodafone and
BSNL. <p></p><h3>Travel and Health Insurance</h3>I strongly recommend
that you take out insurance policies to cover medical and travel
expenses. If necessary, consult your travel agent.<p></p><h3>Drug
Abuse</h3>Drug
abuse is viewed seriously in Hyderabad. Illicit traffic in narcotic
drugs and psychotropic substances is strictly prohibited.
<p></p><h3>Hitech Hyderabad India</h3>Hyderabad is one of the most
<b>developed</b> city in India. It is an emerging information technology
(or IT) and biotechnology hub of India.<p>Hyderabad has witnessed a
remarkable growth in the <b>real estate</b>
business, thanks to a predominantly information technology-driven boom
in the 1990s and the retail industry growth over the last few years
which have spurred hectic commercial activity. A number of mega malls
have come up and are being built in the city.</p><p></p>
<p>The <b>rapid growth</b> of the city, along with the growth of
Secunderabad and neighboring municipalities has resulted in a large
metropolitan area.</p><p>Hyderabad
is the financial and economic capital of the state. The city is the
largest contributor to the state's gross domestic product, state tax
and excise revenues.</p><p>The <b>infrastructural facilities</b> for
basic research in Hyderabad are some of the best in the country,
hosting a large academic population from all over the country and
beyond.</p>

<p>These <b>beautiful structures</b> were built by Kings of Quli Qutb Shah
dynasty, Rulers of Asaf Jah dynasty and also by Royal Families of Hyderabad
city.</p>
<p>Few monuments are more than <b>400 years old</b> and still <b>standing

because these palaces are regarded as most magnificent palaces in
world.</p>
<p>So come and explore beautiful historical monuments of Hyderabad !</p>

<p>These historical monuments of Hyderabad were homes, guesthouses and
meeting places of Hyderabad rulers and noble families. Now they have been
converted into Hotels, Court, Hospitals, Assembly, Museums and picnic
spots. </p>
<p>I love visiting these monuments as they <b>remind me</b> of great rulers
of Hyderabad city and Golconda kingdom. My eyes always get stuck on the
architectural work of these palaces and monuments. </p>

<h3>Weather & Ignorace...</h3>
<p>Many monuments got <b>damaged</b> by bad weather. Few of them are in
pathetic condition due to ignorance of state government and archaeological
department.</p>
<p>If the state government and archaeological department won’t take
necessary steps to <b>save these monuments</b> then after few years these
monuments may not exist and will be seen only in books.</p>
<p>I feel very bad when I see people writing names and drawing signs on
monument walls. We should avoid writing on these marvelous monuments. We
must <b>praise</b> the architectural design work of these magnificent
palaces which are the pride of Hyderabad, India.</p>

Nowhere in the world are there so many tombs in one place as here. You will
find more than 20 tombs at one place, these tombs are famous as 'Seven
Tombs'. These tombs erected in memory of the departed kings of Golconda are
truly magnificent monuments that have stood the test of time and the
vagaries of nature. These imposing marvels of architectural excellence
stand as solemn reminders of the grandeur and glory of Golconda and the
great kings who are buried here. These tombs mark a unique architectural
style which is a mixture of Persian, Pathan and Hindu forms. The arcades on
all the sides and the pointed arches add to their beauty and grace.
Situated 1 kilometre away from Golconda fort.<br>

I highly recommend you to visit Golconda fort. Some historians claim that
Golconda Fort is about 2000 years old. Golconda kings spent millions of
rupees upon the fort for the command of the Deccan. Golconda fort is on an
isolated granite hill and rises in splendour about 400 feet above
surrounding plain. The walls and bastions were built of large blocks of
masonry, some of them weighing several tons. There are eight darwazas or
gates in the outer wall. The gates were studded with iron spikes and
various other devices which were intended to prevent elephants from
charging at them. Within the walls of the fort, scattered in all
directions, are a number of old buildings, mosques and places of historical
and architectural interest.<br>

I refer Charminar as a logo of Hyderabad city. Charminar, the edifice of
the four minarets, is the legendary masterpiece of Qutb Shahis. The awesome
rectangular structure was built upon four grand arches by Muhammad Quli
Qutb Shah in 1590-91. Charminar is situated in the old city of Hyderabad
and is surrounded by hundreds of shops. Lad bazaar the famous shopping
place, Mecca Masjid, Chowmahallah palace and other popular monuments are
just few distance away from Charminar. You have to face huge traffic on
your way to reach Charminar from new city. Charminar today is synonymous
with Hyderabad’s old-world charm and beauty and connotes Qutb Shahi
grandeur to tourists with its spiral stairways. You can go on top of the
Charminar to view complete old city of Hyderabad.<br>

About a mile from the Golconda Fort, on the road to Osman Sagar stands a
unique structure on a rugged hillock. Double-storeyed and square shaped,
with strong arches on all sides, Taramati's Baradari stands in splendid
isolation on its raised terrace. Once upon a time, during the Qutb Shahi
days, this stately pavilion used to reverberate with music and dance
whenever Taramati entertained. This beautiful courtesan was an accomplished
singer and musician. Popular lore has it that Taramati, on moonlit nights,
used to dance on a tightrope that extended from her pavilion all the way to
the Golconda Fort. You can still see the beautiful mausoleum of Taramati at
Ibrahim Bagh in the royal cemetery. On the opposite side of the road stands
the Mosque of Pemamati, another royal courtesan of the same time.<br>

construction of the Mecca Masjid was begun by Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah.
Nearly 8000 masons and labourers worked on it. The construction work
continued during the reigns of Abdullah Qutb Shah and Abul Hasan Tana Shah.
Finally 77 years after it was begun, Mecca Masjid was completed in 1694 by
the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. The name Mecca Masjid is derived from the
Grand Mosque at Mecca in Saudi Arabia on which it is patterned.<br>

This is my favourite palace in Hyderabad city. I highly recommend you to
visit this magnificent palace located near Lad Bazar in old city.
Chowmahalla palace consists of a group of palaces built by successive
Nizams. Each palace was used for a specific purpose. Chowmahalla palace was
built in 1750 by the Nizam Salabat Jung. Chowmahalla Palace was the seat of
the Asaf Jahi dynasty where the Nizams entertained their official guests
and royal visitors. The palace is a copy of the Shah’s palace at Tehran,
although considerably finer in architectural construction than the latter.
The total area of this complex of palaces is 2,90,000 square yards.<br>

What can I say about this palace? Every word and praise is small in front
of this most marvelous & magnificent palace. Falaknuma palace is regarded
as one of the most magnificent palaces in India. Falaknuma palace is
situated on a hill 2000 feet high, towards the south, about 5 km from
Charminar. Falaknuma palace was built by Nawab Viquar-ul-Umara, the fifth
Ameer of the Paigah, in the late 19th century. The palace was designed by
an Italian architect and the marble used in the palace was imported from
Italy. Falaknuma palace has priceless collections of paintings, statues and
English furniture. </font></td></TABLE><p align="Left">

<p>History of Hyderabad is inextricably linked with the <b>rise and

which flourished in the Deccan region during the medieval and modern
times.</p>
<p>It was the famous Qutb Shahi's rule that <b>opened a glorious

was the founder of Hyderabad City. In the <b>year 1591</b>,
when the Moon was in the constellation of Leo, Jupiter in its own abode and
all celestial planets favourably placed, he laid the <b>foundation</b>
of a new city which he called Bhagyanagar after his beloved queen

evening, the Prince of Golconda would ride to the village of Chichlam
across Musi river, <b>to meet his beloved</b>, for he couldn't live without
watching her dance, and listening to her soulful voice.<p>Legend has it
that once <b>heavy rains and thunderstorm</b> lashed Golconda and the city
was devastated. Flood water of the Musi river destroyed many homes and
lives. </p><p>Young Sultan of Golconda, Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah was worried
for Bhagmati, so he <b>decided to cross the flooded river</b> to meet her.
His Royal guards tried to stop him as it was very dangerous for the young
sultan, but in vain. <b>Prince rode</b> to the shore of the Musi river.
<b>He coerced</b>
his horse to step into the river and as soon as it did, a furious
current nearly swept it away. It was a miracle that both survived and

he was alarmed and forbade Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah from meeting
Bhagmati. Young Sultan was miserable without her. Beautiful women from
Armenia, Persia, Arab and different parts of India were brought to
entertain the prince, <b>but none could attract his attention</b> away from
his beloved 'Bhagmati'.</p><p>Sultan
Ibrahim found that his son loved only Bhagmati and no one else, no
matter how beautiful she was. After seeing so much love for Bhagmati,
Sultan Ibrahim <b>constructed the Purana Pul (Old Bridge)</b> – a massive
stone bridge across the Musi River, to make it easy for the young Sultan to
reach Chichlam to <b>meet his beloved.</b></p><p>The romance of the crown

The fact that the Bhagmati was a Hindu courtesan and much older than
the prince, created quite a uproar in the court. The orthodox society
was not ready to accept her as queen of Golconda. <b>After ascending the
throne</b>, Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah defied all traditions, <b>married
Bhagmati</b>, and made her his queen. He re-christened her Hyder Mahal, and
<b>named the city Hyderabad in honour of her.</b></p><p></p><center><font

Dynasty</font></h2></center>On the 10th of July 1947, the <b>'Declaration
of the Indian Independence'</b>
bill was introduced by Harold Macmillan. To the Nizam's dismay, no
mention or decision was taken regarding the state of Hyderabad. <p>All
<b>princely states</b> were given the option to either join India, Pakistan
or remain independent. All states that would join the <b>Indian Union</b>
would have to surrender their sovereignty and their right to collect
taxes. All princely states large and small agreed to join the Union of
India, <b>except Hyderabad.</b> In June 1947, the Nizam issued a
<b><i>Firman</i></b> or a proclamation declaring independence from the
Indian Union.

<b><center><font size="1">Gold-plated chair of Nizam VII at Purani Haveli,
Hyderabad</font></center></b><p>On the <b>15th of August 1947,</b>
India attained independence from the British, but Hyderabad stood
defiant as an independent state. On 29th November 1947, the Nizam
signed a <b>'standstill agreement'</b> with the Indian Union for a period
of one year. </p>
<p>In the months following the signing of the Standstill Agreement,
suspicion and misgivings between the Nizam and the Indian government
grew. Relations between the two were far from amicable.</p><p>The
<b>Razakar Movement,</b> supported by the <i>Majlis Ittehad-ul-
Musalmeen,</i> supporting Islamic supremacy in southern India gained ground
in Hyderabad. Led by the zealous <b>Kasim Razvi</b>,
the Razakars compelled the Nizam to maintain his independence and not
relent to pressure from the Indian government. Claiming his right to
remain independent in accordance with the Indian Independence Act, the
<b>Nizam declared Hyderabad a free, self-governing independent state</b>
but the Government of India <b>refused to accept</b> his point of view.

the Indian union and to further tighten the noose, an <b>economic
blockade</b> was imposed on Hyderabad. On the 10th of September 1948, the
Nizam sent Nawab Moin Nawaz Jung to the <b>Security Council</b> to
represent Hyderabad's case before the <b>United Nations.</b> This was the
last straw. All channels of communication were severed and the Government
of India contemplated <b>military action against the defiant
state.</b></p><p>On the 13th of September 1948, the Indian Army initiated
its <b>Police Action Against Hyderabad.</b>
The exercise was termed Operation Polo and for five days the Razakars
and the Hyderabad army made a half hearted attempt to resist the Indian
army. But their antiquated ammunition and ill equipped soldiers were no
match to an entire armoured division of the mighty <b>Indian army.</b> A
number of Razakars lost their lives in the battle and their feeble
resistance was soon overcome.

<b><center><font size="1">Staircase of Falaknuma Palace,
Hyderabad</font></center></b><p>Five days later, on the 18th of September,
1948, the <b>Indian army entered Secunderabad Cantonment.</b> Military rule
was imposed. </p><p>A reluctant Hyderabad finally <b>merged</b> with the
Union of India.</p><p>For a smooth transition and to placate the sentiments
of the hurt <i>Hyderabadis</i>, the Government of India considered it
prudent to appoint Osman Ali Khan as the <b><i>Rajpramukh</i></b> of
Hyderabad state, a position that he held from 26th January 1950 to 31st
October 1956.</p><p>Democracy
had the whole world in its grip and how long could Hyderabad stay
unaffected? The boundary of this region in the Deccan was <b>redrawn on
linguistic</b>
considerations. The Marathi speaking areas merged with Maharashtra, the
Kannada speaking region with Karnataka and on 1st November 1956, the
<b>Telugu</b> speaking areas along the region formerly known as Andhra
formed the new state of <b>Andhra Pradesh</b> with Hyderabad as its
<b>capital.</b>

Osman Ali Khan withdrew completely from public life and choose to lead
a quiet, secluded life with his family. He had wisely formed a number
of <b>trusts</b> that took care of his family's need and funded his various
<b>charitable institutions.</b></p><p>In 1967 <b>Osman Ali Khan passed
away</b>
and his eldest grandson, Mukarram Jah, became the new Nizam - a
designation that had no meaning, no duties and no responsibilities any
more.</p><p>In 1972, the Indian Prime Minister, Ms Indira Gahndhi abolished
the <b>'privy purse'</b> and monarchs and royal families lost all their
privileges at one go. <b>Prince Mukarram Jah</b>
migrated to Australia and while most of his estate is being managed by
the trusts formed by his grandfather, some of it has been acquired by
the government.</p>
<p>Thus an era became <b>history and a Asaf Jahi dynasty</b> spanning seven
generations faded into the twilight leaving behind an indelible print on
the sand of time.
