The financial bankruptcy of the Hyderabad Dominion during the reign of Nasir-ud-Daula Nizam the IV was a grim reminder of the failure of the revenue system and collapse of state economy. Revenue collections were more or less based on the Amani system of farming out areas on contract basis. The highest bidder was empowered with the authority to impose and collect the tax, which as a matter of practice was often levied with least regard to the paying capacity of cultivators. Quite often, the Taluqdars and contractors employed harsh and cruel means to collect tax revenues. Nevertheless, the collections more or less trickled down into the treasury. The state expenditures under Raja Chandulal rose day by day and shot up alarmingly. Expenditure under manasab and other extra ordinary heads increased in spite of the vain attempts of Raja Chandulal to reorganise and affect reforms. Records available reveal that no regular accounts were maintained. Even receipt of disbursement was not properly maintained. Efforts to equalise the revenue and expenditure failed every time. Enhanced payments by farming-out districts could not meet the expenses. In an attempt to correct the ailing system an arbitrary system was started, in which the Khalssa lands were mortgaged. Numerous taluqas and towns were assigned in tankhwah as jagirs to Jamedars and others in lieu of their salaries and as a consequence the Dominion did not receive a single penny as revenue from such areas. On one hand the money lenders pressurized the treasury for repayment of their amounts and on the other hand the British military troops, Mansabdars, Nizam’s relatives remained largely unsatisfied. In the last days of office of Raja Chandulal the financial crisis grew worse. Subsequently Ram Bakhsh who took charge of the office faced the same situation. He was unable to even pay the salaries of the contingent forces. The money lenders refused to give any more. But on the security of Jamedars they gave the loan at a high rate of interest. The Government showed cowardice and did not dare to check the role physically about the persons employed 2 THE DEVELOPMENT OF FINANCE AND BUDGETING IN EX-HYDERABAD... and the amount which they claimed. Every person employed in Government service worked for their personal benefits and not for the Government. They exploited the cultivators and extracted as much money as they could do from them. The Revenue system was mismanaged and due to the avarice of the Collectors, the tax levies were increased year by year unjustly. There was no jamabandi or assessment of revenue in view of the wet or dry land or its fertility. The cultivators were also called-upon to pay their rents even before they cut their crops. Thus under fear, the cultivators borrowed the loans from the money lenders at a high rate of interest and paid the same as tax to the Government. Many other taxes were also levied on them. Thereby, cultivators and Jamindars were ruined. Consequently, agriculture, commerce and local industries were adversely affected. Only the Sarbastadars and Taluqdars stood to gain at the cost of the poor riots who got poorer day by day.1 The fixed or ordinary expenditure was written-off in the Finance Revenue accounts under three Head which were as follows : i) Minhai-az-Madakhil or abatements from receipts.

This Unit would introduce you to: 9 the policy pursued by different Mughal Emperors towards the Deccan states; 9 the factors that determined the Deccan policy of the Mughals, and the ultimate outcome of the struggle between the Mughals and the Deccan states. - 9.1 INTRODUCTION - In Unit 8 of this Block you have learnt how the independent Sultanates of Ahmednagar, Bijapur, Golkonda, Berar and Bidar had been established in the Deccan. We have already discussed the development of these states and their relations to each other (Unit 8). Here our focus would be on the Mughal relations with the Deccan states. The Deccan policy of the Mughals was not determined by any single factor. The strategic importance of the Decen states and the administrative and economic necessity of the Mughal empire largely guided the attitude of the Mughal rulers towards the Deccan states. Babar, the first Mughal ruler, could not establish any contact with Deccan because of his pre-occupations in the North. Still, his conquest of Chanderi in 1528 had brought the Mugllal empire close to the northern cbnfines of Malwa.

Rogers Myron Weiner a ........ .................. ..... .......... C/77-5 INTERNAL MIGRATION POLICIES IN AN INDIAN STATE: A CASE STUDY OF THE MULKI RULES IN HYDERABAD AND ANDHRA K.V. Narayana Rao Migration and Development Study Group Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 August 1977 Preface by Myron Weiner This study by Dr. K.V. Narayana Rao, a political scientist and Deputy Director of the National Institute of Community Development in Hyderabad who has specialized in the study of Andhra Pradesh politics, examines one of the earliest and most enduring attempts by a state government in India to influence the patterns of internal migration. The policy of intervention began in 1868 when the traditional ruler of Hyderabad State initiated steps to ensure that local people (or as they are called in Urdu, mulkis) would be given preferences in employment in the administrative services, a policy that continues, in a more complex form, to the present day. A high rate of population growth for the past two decades, a rapid expansion in education, and a low rate of industrial growth have combined to create a major problem of scarce employment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh as in most of India and, indeed, in many countries in the third world. It is not surprising therefore that there should be political pressures for controlling the labor market by those social classes in the urban areas that are best equipped to exercise political power.

    The Crafts and Textiles of Hyderabad and Telangana 11 Days/10 Nights Activities Overnight Day 1 Fly U.S. to Hyderabad. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to Hyderabad your hotel by private car. Day 2 The city of Hyderabad was constructed in 1591 by King Hyderabad Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which ruled this region of the Deccan plateau from 1507 to 1687. During this time, the Sultanate faced numerous incursions by the Mughals and the Hindu Marathas. In 1724, the Mughal governor of the Deccan arrived to govern the city. His official title was the Nizam- ul-Muluk, or Administrator of the Realm. After the death of Emperor Aurangzeb, he declared his independence and established the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Nizams. The Nizams of Hyderabad were known for their tremendous wealth, which came from precious gems mined in nearby Golconda (see Day 3), the area's natural resources, a vibrant pearl trade, agricultural taxes and friendly cooperation with the British. Much of the architecture still existing in Hyderabad thus dates from the reigns of the Qutb Shahi Sultans or the Nizams. European influences were introduced by the British in the 19th and 20th centuries. At the center of old Hyderabad sits the Charminar, or "four towers," which dates to 1591 and is surrounded by a lively bazaar and numerous mosques and palaces. This morning we will enjoy a leisurely walk through the area. We will stop to admire the colorful tile mosaics found inside the Badshahi Ashurkhana. This Royal House of Mourning was built in 1595 as a congregation hall for Shia Muslims during Muharram.

  • Urdu in Hyderabad State*
    tariq rahman Urdu in Hyderabad State* The state of Hyderabad was carved out in 1724 by the Asif Jahis (Āṣif Jāhīs), the governors of the Mughal emperors in the Deccan, when they became powerful enough to set themselves up as rulers in their own right. The Nizams1ófrom Mīr Qamruíd-Dīn Khān (1724ñ48) until the sixth ruler of the house Mīr Maḥbūb ʿAlī Khān (1869ñ1911)óused Persian as their court language, in common with the prevailing fashion of their times, though they spoke Urdu at home. Persian was, however, replaced by Urdu in some domains of power, such as law courts, administration and education, toward the end of the nineteenth century. The focus of this article is on the manner in which this transition took place. This phenomenon, which may be called the ìUrduizationî of the state, had important consequences. Besides the historical construction of events, an attempt will be made to understand these consequences: the link of ìUrduizationî with power, the construction of Muslim identity, and socio- economic class. Moreover, the effect of ìUrduizationî on the local languages of Hyderabad will also be touched on. *The author is grateful to the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan for a grant to carry out research for this article in India. 1The Nizams who actually ruled were the first seven; the last in the line carried the title until 1971 but did not rule: 1) Mīr Qamaruíd-Dīn Khān Niāmuíl- Mulk Āṣaf Jāh I (r. 1724–48); 2) Mīr Niām ʿAlī Khān Āṣaf Jāh II (r. 1762–1803); 3) Mīr Akbar ʿAlī Khān Sikandar Jāh III (r.

  • Women Education in Hyderabad: an Indigenous Effort Or Colonial Initiative
    International Journal of Research ISSN NO:2236-6124 WOMEN EDUCATION IN HYDERABAD: AN INDIGENOUS EFFORT OR COLONIAL INITIATIVE Mr. Khursheed Ahmad Bhat M. A. History, B. Ed, M. Ed. [email protected] Research Scholar, Department of History, Maulana Azad National Urdu University, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, Telangana, 500032. Abstract The paper presents an insight into the women education in the Princely state of Hyderabad that whether it was an indigenous effort or a colonial initiative. As the British education system had influenced the educational set up of British India, the Imperialist historians claim that the education system in Princely states is also a colonial projection. As far as women education in the Princely state of Hyderabad is concerned, it was mainly an indigenous effort within the conceptual frame work of British education system, rather than a colonial initiative. Even before the introduction of girl’s education in British India, the Hyderabad State started a number of girl’s schools, and imparted education in the religious as well as secular subjects. Introduction: The Britishers came to India as traders and on part of available opportunities and with the passage of time they became the rulers of the Sub-continent. In order to perpetuate their rule in India, the Britishers studied the Asiatic culture and religions and initially did not interfere in the social and religious aspects of Indians. But due to the Evangelical and Utilitarian pressure, the British Crown allowed Christian missionaries to enter India and commence an era of proselytization through the charter Act of 1813 and other developmental activities. The Act set apart an amount of one lakh rupees to be spent on education annually.

Raja Reddi and Urmila Pingle in memory of our journeys in tribal country Preface ― xi ― This book tells of observations among Indian tribal populations spanning the period from 1940 to 1980. Ever since 1936, when a study of the Konyak Nagas marked the beginning of my career as an anthropological field-worker, I have maintained contacts with Indian tribesmen. True, there were years when I concentrated on the study of the mountain peoples of Nepal, but even then I paid periodic visits to some of the tribal areas of India, and this enabled me to keep abreast of current developments. When in 1976 I retired from the Chair of Asian Anthropology at the University of London and could devote more time to fieldwork, I decided to undertake a systematic investigation of social and economic changes affecting the tribal societies which I had studied in the 1940s. A grant from the Social Science Research Council of Great Britain, as well as subsidiary awards from the Leverhulme Trust Fund and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, provided the material basis for this project, which included also the funding of parallel research by my young colleague Dr.
