Hyderabad
is the capital of one of the most techno savvy state in India,
Andhra Pradesh. This city is also called the city of pearls because
of the major dealing of pearls that is done from this part of the
state. There is also a love story that is related to the founding of
the city of Hyderabad. The story goes something like this that once
there was a young prince, Muhammad Quli, who fell in love with a
small time maiden from Chichlam village across the river Musi.
Ibrahim Qutb Shah, father of Muhammad Quli, built a bridge on the
river so that the crown prince did not endanger his life. When
Muhammad Quli ascended the throne, he built a grand structure, the
Charminar, at the place where village once stood. The city was then
called Bhagnagar to appease his beloved, Bhagmati. Later on it was
called Hyderabad. Bhagnagar means city of good fortune.
Hyderabad was modeled after the
Isfaan, that is in Iran and was built under the supervision of the
prime minister of Muhammad Quli, Mir Momin. Mir Momin tried to
create a replica of the Paradise to suit Muhammad Quli's status as
the greatest of the Qutb Shahi rulers. The city was completed in
1592. The French traveler, Tavernier when visited India in 1652,
compared Hyderabad to Orleans and in 1672, Abbe Carr was much
impressed by the city as the center of all trade in the
East.Hyderabad is now turning itself into a more commercially
aggressive city in India. City of Hyderabad has been hosting some of
the major trade shows and technology fairs in India for the past
couple of years.
