Hyderabad (/ˈhaɪdərəbæd/ ⓘ) is the capital of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Located on the banks of the Musi River in the Deccan Plateau, the city is one of the largest in India with an area of 650 square kilometres (250 sq mi) and a population of 6.8 million, while the metropolitan area contains 7.7 million residents, making it the fourth most populous city and the sixth most populous urban agglomeration in the country. In 2008, the nominal gross domestic product (GDP) of Hyderabad was US$ 60 billion—ranking 4th in India and 93rd in the world.

Hyderabad city was established in 1591 CE by Sultan Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, whose dynasty lasted until 1658 when Mughal emperor Aurangzeb occupied Golconda Sultanate and the city became part of the Mughal empire's Deccan province. In 1724 Asif Jah I, a Mughal viceroy, declared his sovereignty and formed the Asif Jahi Dynasty, also known as the Nizams of Hyderabad. The Nizams ruled the princely state of Hyderabad for more than two centuries, under subsidiary alliance with the British Raj. The city remained the dynasty's capital from 1769 until 1948—when the Nizam signed an Instrument of Accession with the Indian Union following Operation polo. In 1956, the city was merged with Andhra State. Since 1969 Hyderabad is a major center of the Telangana movement, which demands a separate state for the Telengana region of Andhra Pradesh.

Situated on the crossroads of North and South India, the city has been noted for its unique culture. As the capital of the largest and richest Princely state of India, and with the patronage from Nizams, the city established local traditions in drama, art, theater, literature, architecture and cuisine. The city is a regular tourist destination and home to many places of interest, including the UNESCO Asia Pacific Heritage site of Chowmahalla Palace, and other notable landmarks such as the Charminar and Golconda fort. Hyderabad is home to numerous museums, Bazaars, galleries, libraries, sporting events and other cultural institutions, including the Salarjung museum, Laad Bazaar, Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC) and Shilpakala Vedika.

Hyderabad was once a global center of the diamond and pearls trade, for which it is known by the nickname as City of Pearls. The municipal boundaries of the city was expanded in 2007 and the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad came under the ambit of a single municipal unit, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. The city has emerged as a hub for the information technology, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries, alongside traditional service industries. Hyderabad International Airport, serving 5–15 million passengers annually, was adjudged the world's fifth best airport. Hyderabad's 13 universities and business schools form a major location for higher education and research in India. The city is home to the Telugu film industry known as Tollywood. As a growing metropolitan city in a developing country, Hyderabad confronts substantial urban pollution, traffic congestion, poverty, overpopulation, and other logistic and socioeconomic problems.

Etymology

The etymology of Hyderabad is marred by myths. One popular myth postulates that Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the founder of Hyderabad,[2] named the city Bhaganagar after Bhagmathi, a local nautch girl with whom he fell in love. He married Bhagmathi who converted to Islam and adopted the title Hyder Mahal. The city was renamed in her honour to Hyderabad, literally meaning "Hyder's abode".[3] Another theory says Hyderabad was named to honour the Caliph Ali Ibn Abi Talib, who was also known as Hyder.[4]

History

Main article: History of Hyderabad, India

Early history

Although Hyderabad was established in 1591, archaeologists have unearthed Iron Age sites near the city that could date back to 500 BCE.[5] The region comprising modern Hyderabad and its surrounding was known as Golkonda (English: The Shepherd's Hill),[6] which was ruled by the Chalukya dynasty from 731 CE to 966 CE.[7] Following the dissolution of Chalukya dynasty into four empires in the 11th century, Golkonda came under the control of the Kakatiya dynasty (1000–1310).[8] The Kakatiya dynasty's headquarters was at Warangal, located 148 kilometres (92 mi) northeast of modern Hyderabad.[9]

Medieval history

The Golkonda fort is the oldest existing structure in Hyderabad.[10]

When Sultan Alauddin Khilji of Delhi took over Warangal, the Hyderabad region came under the Khilji dynasty (1310–1321). Alauddin Khilji carried with him to Delhi the Koh-i-Noor diamond, which was mined from the Kollur Mines in Golkonda.[11] Afterwards Muhammad bin Tughluq annexed Delhi, which brought Warangal under the direct rule of the Tughlaq dynasty until 1347. Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah a governor of Muhammad bin Tughluq revolted against the Sultanate and established the Bahmani Sultanate in the Deccan with Gulbarga (200 kilometres (124 mi) west of Hyderabad) as its capital. The Bahmani kings ruled the region until 1518, becoming the first independent Muslim rulers of the Deccan.[9]

In 1518, Sultan Quli, a governor of Golkonda, revolted against the Bahmani Sultanate and established the Qutb Shahi dynasty.[9] Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the fifth sultan of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, established Hyderabad on the banks of the Musi River in 1591;[12] the city was established to avoid water shortage experienced at Golkonda, the capital of the Sultanate.[13] He constructed the Charminar, Purana pul and Mecca Masjid in the city.[14]

On 21 September 1687,[15] the Golkonda Sultanate came under the rule of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb after a year-long siege of the Golkonda fort.[16] The area under the Sultanate was renamed as Deccan Suba (Deccan Provence) and, during this period of Mughal rule, the capital was shifted from Golkonda to Aurangabad (about 550 kilometres (342 mi) northwest of Hyderabad).[16][17]

Nizam period

In 1712, the sixth of Aurangzeb's successor, Farrukhsiyar appointed Asaf Jah I as the Viceroy of the Deccan with the title of Nizam-ul-Mulk (Regulator of the Realm) Fateh Jung. In 1724, Asaf Jah I gained autonomy by defeating a rival official to establish control over the Deccan Suba and named it Hyderabad Deccan, thus starting the dynasty which came to be known as the Asaf Jahi dynasty. The rulers retained the title Nizam ul-Mulk, and were referred to as Asif Jahi Nizams, or Nizams of Hyderabad.[16][17] In 1748, Asaf Jah I died, and until 1761 there was internal political unrest in the state, due to ascension of throne among the son's of Asaf Jah I, who were alliance with either British, French or neighboring rulers. The region of Asif Jah II brought the end to the internal political disturbance. In 1768 and 1798, Asif Jah II signed a treaty of the Masulipatnam and the Subsidiary alliance with the East India Company, when the regular threats from neighboring rulers of Mysore, Maratha and Basalath Jung (Asaf Jah II's elder brother supported by de Bussy of French) grew. Through this treaty the Nizam gave the control of the coastal region (including the cities of Masulipatnam and the Kondapalli Fort) to the India Company and permitted to station British troops in and around the Bolaram (modern Secunderabad) suburb of Hyderabad. In return the East India Company would have to pay a fixed annual rent to the Nizam and protect the borders of the Hyderabad State.[18] In 1769, Hyderabad city became the formal capital of the Asaf Jahi dynasty. The Nizams ruled the city until 17 September 1948, a year after India's independence from the British Raj.[16][17]

During the period of Nizam rule, Hyderabad State became the richest,[19] and the senior-most salute state among the Indian princely States.[20] It was spread over 223,000 km2 (86,000 sq mi) in the Deccan, ruled by the Asaf Jahi dynasty. The Nizam's were conferred with the title of His Exalted Highness,[20] and "Faithful Ally of the British Government" by the United Kingdom,[21] becoming the only Indian prince to be given these both statuses.[22] The rule of the Nizams brought cultural and economic growth for Hyderabad city. One example of the wealth of Nizam rule is the Jewels of the Nizams, which is an international tourist attraction occasionally displayed in Salar Jung Museum. In 1948 Hyderabad had an estimated population of 17 million (1.7 crore), and it generated an estimated annual revenue of £90,029,000.[21] The state had its own currency known as the Hyderabadi rupee, until 1951.[23] The pace at which the last Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan amassed wealth made him one of the world's richest men in 1937.[22] According to the Forbes All-Time Wealthiest List of 2008, Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan is the fifth richest man ever, with an estimated worth of US$210.8 billion (adjusted with the present value of the US dollar).[23]

The Nizams set up numerous institutions in the name of the dynasty including hospitals and schools, colleges, universities that imparted education in Urdu.[23] Inspired by the Indian Civil Service, the Nizams established the Hyderabad Civil Service and built large reservoirs. Survey work on the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam was initiated during this time, though the actual work was completed by the Government of India in 1969.[24][25]

Post-independence

Following India's independence from the British Empire in 1947, the Asaf Jahi Nizam declared his intention to remain independent.[26] In 1948, the Hyderabad State Congress began agitating against the Nizam, with the support of Indian National Congress and the Communist Party of India. On 17 September 1948, the Indian Army took control of Hyderabad state through Operation Polo and the Nizam joined India by signing the Instrument of Accession, which made him the Rajpramukh ("Princely Governor") of Hyderabad State.[17][27] A peasant uprising or Telangana uprising was a communist-led peasant rebellion against the feudal lords of the Telangana region and later against the princely state of Hyderabad between 1946 and 1951.[28] The Constitution of India, which became effective on 26 January 1950, made Hyderabad State one of the part B states of India and Hyderabad city continued to be its capital. In 1955, B. R. Ambedkar, the then chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Indian Constitution, expressed in his report that the city should be designated as the second capital of India after Delhi. He expressed:

"Hyderabad has all the amenities which Delhi has and it is a far better city than Delhi. It has all the grandeur which Delhi has. Buildings are going cheap and they are really beautiful buildings, far superior to those in Delhi. The only thing that is wanting is a Parliament House which the Government of India can easily build."[29]

Since 1956, The Rashtrapati Nilayam located in Hyderabad is the second official residence and business office of the President of India, The Indian President visits and stay here almost two months every year.[30] On 1 November 1956, the states of India were reorganised on linguistic grounds. Hyderabad State was split on linguistic lines to become the parts of three newly carved states. Nine Telugu and Urdu speaking districts of Hyderabad State, also known as Telangana, were merged with the Telugu speaking Andhra State to create the state of Andhra Pradesh with Hyderabad city as its capital.[31] There are several movements to invalidate the merger of Telangana and Andhra; major being in 1969, 1972 and now. The Telangana movement gained momentum over decades becoming a widespread political demand of creating a new state from the Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh.[32] As of 2011, the movement continues with Hyderabad being major center of strikes and agitations.[33]

Geography

Main article: Geography of Hyderabad, India
Hussain Sagar lake

Hyderabad, the capital of Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, is located in the north-western part of the state.[1][34] Geographically it is located in the northern part of Deccan plateau, a large plateau that forms most of the southern part of the country. The historic locality established by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, on the southern banks of Musi river exists as the Old City, while the New City encompasses the urban sprawl largely on the northern bank of Musi River. The Old and New Cities are connected by multiple bridges over the river, with the bridge Purana pul being the oldest.[35] Hyderabad is twined with neighbouring Secunderabad which is separated through Hussain Sagar lake. Both the twins come under the ambit of a single municipal unit of Greater Hyderabad.[36][34]

Topography

Greater Hyderabad is spread over an area of 650 km2 (250 sq mi), making it one of the largest metros in India.[1] The predominant topography of the city is sloping rocky terrain of grey and pink granites. Some locations with higher altitude are scattered throughout, giving rise to the appearance of several small hillocks. Hyderebad has an average altitude of about 1,778 feet (542 m) above mean sea Level (MSL), while the highest point in the city is Banjara Hills at 2,206 feet (672 m).[34][37] The city houses multiple lakes and large water tanks. The lakes are often referred to as sagar which means sea. The Hussain Sagar lake, built in 1562, is located at the heart of the city. The Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar are two artificial lakes created as a result of dams on Musi River.[34][38]

Climate

Average temperature and precipitation in Hyderabad

Hyderabad has a combination of a tropical wet and dry climate (Köppen Aw) that borders on a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh).[39] The city has a moderate climate during September to February, with a small amount of variation. The monsoon is spread over a period of three months from June to August,[40] and the normal rainfall is 786.8 milliliter.[34]

The mean maximum temperature ranges between 34 °C (93 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) in May. After the withdrawal of the monsoon, the maximum temperature rises slightly due to increased insulation. The mean minimum temperature is 9 °C (48 °F) to 18 °C (64 °F) in December and January, but it rises to 22 °C (72 °F) to 32 °C (90 °F) in May. The minimum temperature falls rapidly after October, and less than 10 °C (50 °F) has been recorded on individual days. The climate is mild from November to February. The summer months of April and May are hot, and the city frequently records temperatures exceeding 40 °C (104 °F). The period from July to September is warm and humid. Temperatures in the evenings and mornings are generally cooler because of the city's moderate elevation. Hyderabad receives around 1,019 millimetres (40.1 in) of rain every year, most of it concentrated in the monsoon months. The heaviest rainfall recorded in a 24-hour period is 241.5 millimetres on 24 August 2000 . The maximum (day) temperature ever recorded was 45.5 °C (114 °F) on 2 June 1966, while the minimum recorded temperature was 8 °C (46 °F) on 8 January 1946.[41][40]

Local government

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is in charge of the civic administration and infrastructure of the city.[49] It was formed in April 2007 by merging 100 wards of the erstwhile Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad (MCH) with twelve municipalities of neighbouring two districts. GHMC covers an area of 650 km2 (250 sq mi), spread over the three districts—Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy and Medak. The GHMC is divided into five zones and eighteen circles that contain 150 municipal wards. Each ward is headed by a corporator, elected by popular vote. The corporators elect The city Mayor who is the titular head of GHMC. The executive powers of the GHMC lie with the Municipal Commissioner appointed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. The State Election Commission (SEC) monitors the municipal elections that are held in the city once in every five years. The first election of the GHMC were held in December 2009. The Indian National Congress alliance with Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen formed the majority, with the agreement of sharing the mayor post equally between the two parties.[50][51][52][53]

The Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB), with an area of 40.1 km2 (15.5 sq mi),[54] is a jurisdiction which contains suburbs of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The SCB houses camps of the Indian Army and Indian Air Force, thus the civic administration and infrastructure of this area is overseen by SCB rather than GHMC. The Chief Executive Officer (a civilian) appointed by the Indian Defense Ministry possesses the executive powers while the board president is an Indian army commander of the Brigadier grade, stationed in Secunderabad.[55] The Osmania University a part of modern Hyderabad is an area of 3.4 km2 (1.3 sq mi) administered independently by its management.[54] The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) was formed in 2008 as an umbrella authority by merging multiple local development bodies. The jurisdiction of HMDA extends to 54 mandals located in five districts with a total area of 7,100 km2 (2,700 sq mi).[56] It manages the development activities of the area including the administration of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB), the Andhra Pradesh Transmission Corporation, and the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC).[54]

The Hyderabad City Police, established in 1847, is the law and order enforcement agency.[57] Hyderabad Police Commissionerate jurisdiction is divided into five police zones, each headed by a Deputy Commissioner.[58] The Hyderabad Traffic Police is headed by a Deputy Commissioner who is answerable to the Hyderabad City Police Commissioner.[59] The area under the jurisdiction of Hyderabad City Police is smaller than the GHMC area, thus the suburbs of the city falls under the jurisdiction of Cyberabad Police Commissionerate. As of 2012, The "Greater Hyderabad Police Commissionerate" is a proposed plan of Andhra Pradesh Government which would be formed by merging Hyderabad Police Commissionerate and Cyberabad Police Commissionerate. There will be four zones, each headed by Police commissioner, who will be reporting to the chief Commissioner.[60]

Hyderabad houses the offices of the local governing bodies, along with the Andhra Pradesh Legislature Assembly, the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat, the Andhra Pradesh High Court. Under the jurisdiction of High Court comes the lower city civil court and the Metropolitan Criminal Court.[61] Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation area contains 24 state Legislative Assembly constituencies which come under five Lok Sabha (the lower house of the Parliament of India) constituncies.[62][63]

Utility services

Electricity, water and sewerage services to general public were first commissioned in 1925, with the establishment of The City Endowment Board.[24][64] Rainwater harvesting, water and sewerage services are regulated by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB).[56] The HMWSSB sources water supply from multiple dams located in the suburbs of the city.[65] To meet the growing consumption requirement and to provide regular water supply in the city, in 2005 the HMWSSB started operating 150 kilometres (93 mi)-long water supply piple-line from Nagarjuna Sagar Dam.[65] The HMWSSB operates a service named "Dial-a-Tanker" to provide water in emergencies to the residents of the city. A registered customer can obtain the water tanker with the payment of minimal charges.[66] The rapid economical growth leading to the rise in the city's population and consequent increased demand of water has further jeopardized the water shortage of the city which receives scanty rainfall. The region's ground water levels are shrinking, and dams are facing water shortages.[65][66] Inadequately treated effluents from industrial treatment plants are polluting the drinking water sources of the city.[67]

The electricity is regulated through Andhra Pradesh Central Power Distribution Company.[56] Fire services are provided by the Andhra Pradesh Fire Services department, headed by a director general.[68] The institution was established by the Andhra Pradesh Fire Services act of 1999.[69] As of March 2012, there are 13 fire stations in Hyderabad and the annual budget for the service was ₹1,850 million (US$22 million).[70] The Indian Postal Service is the major service provider in the city with five head post offices and multiple sub-post offices; many private courier services also operate in the city.[34] In 1999, the AP state government launched e-Seva (electronic service) services for multiple utility agency's bill payment from one platform. The e-Seva is integrated with the departments of central and state governments.[71]

Pollution control

The city produces around 4,500 metric tonnes of solid waste everyday, which is transported from three collection units located in Imlibun, Yousufguda and Lower Tank Bund to the garbage dumping site of Jawaharnagar.[72] The "Integrated Solid Waste Management" project was started in 2010 by GHMC to manage the waste disposal in the city. The project started with a sum of ₹4,340 million (US$52 million), funded by the state government.[73]

The Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB) is a regulatory and screening authority of pollution in Hyderabad. The rapid rate of urbanisation with increased economic activities had encouraged migration and industries in Hyderabad, these changes led to an increase of air pollution, industrial waste, sound pollution and water pollution.[74] The city is among the 16 most polluted cities of India, transportation vehicles are the main source of air pollution in the city. Every year there are around 1 million vehicles registrations in the city that increase air and sound pollution. The estimated deaths from particulate matter are about 1700–3000 persons every year in Hyderabad.[75] As of 2006, the air pollution statistics are 20-50% from vehicle, 40-70% combining vehicle discharge with road dust, 10-30% from industrial discharges and 3-10% from household garbage burning.[76] Hyderabad houses 140 large and small size lakes in and around the city and As of 1996, there are 834 water tanks of below the size of 10 hectare.[77] The ground water in Hyderabad has total water hardness up to 1000 ppm.[78] APPCB and local authorities have designed and implemented multiple actions to control pollution in the city.[79]
