Hyderabad

Hyderabad at a glance

Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah Of The Qutb Shahi Dynasty Was Responsible For Founding The City Of Hyderabad In 1591. The City Was Established For The Purpose Of Providing An Alternate Capital To Golconda, A City That Had Begun To Suffer From Water Shortages. Quli Qutb Was Also Responsible For Building The City's Greatest Landmark, The Charminar, Which Was Erected As A Tribute To A Deity For Stopping A Plague That Had Threatened To Destroy The City.

The Dynasty's Prosperity And Rise To Power In The 16th And Early 17th Centuries Brought The City Much Of Its Wealth, Generated By Its Significant Role In The Region's Diamond Trade. Indo-persian And Indo-islamic Culture Was Introduced By The Qutb Shahi And Saw A Rapid Development Of Art And Literature Featuring These Influences.

In The 16th Century, Hyderabad Also Began To Absorb Some Of The Population Overspill From Neighbouring Golconda And This Established It Firmly As The Capital Of The Qutb Shahi Dynasty. The City Was Highly Favoured By The Elite On Account Of Its Scenic Gardens And Pleasant Climate. The City Was Captured By Emperor Aurangzeb Of The Mughals In 1687 And In The Period It Was Besieged, Its Prosperity Suffered Significantly. Mughal Control Was Retained On An Autonomous Level Until 1724 When Asaf Jah I Took Control Over The City As A Nizam (governor). It Marked The Beginning Of The Lengthy Asaf Jahi Dynasty, Which Remained In Power India's Declaration Of Independence From The British Empire.

After Asaf Jah I Passed Away, His Successors Were Also Granted The Titles Of Nizam And Awarded The Appropriate Powers. A Total Of Seven Nizams Ruled Hyderabad During Which Time The City Was Returned To Its Formers Glory, Bringing Great Economic And Cultural Growth. Golconda Was Meanwhile Left In A State Of Abandonment And There Was Little Doubt That Hyderabad Had Then Become The Official Capital.

Following The Country's Establishment Of Independence From British Rule, The State Of Hyderabad Also Opted For Independence; However, This Was Met With Political Aggression From India, Eventually Forcing Hyderabad To Join The Indian Union - Which It Did Officially On 17 September 1948, By Signing The Instrument Of Accession.
