Golconda Fort: About Golconda Fort: Golconda Fort is one of the most wonderful monuments, located 11 km. from Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh.

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.

Japanese, Mogul, and European gardens; 24-karat- gold light fixtures; and a cantile- vered suspension staircase with each step carved from Italian marble are just some of its lavish features.

Quli Qutub Golconda Fort Shah seized the reins of power from the Bahamani Kingdom in 1512 and established the fortress city of Golconda. The history of Golconda goes back to the Kakatiya Dynasty in 11th century when they built a mud fortress on a hill called Golconda. Inadequacy of water, and fre- quent epidemics of plague and cholera persuaded Mohammed, the fifth Quli Qutub Shahi ruler to ven- ture outward to establish the new city with the Charminar at its cen- ter and with four great roads fan- ning out in the four cardinal direc- tions. The capital of the city was Bhagyanagar, which named after a royal beloved Bhagyamati. As she Charminar became the wife of Quli Qutub Shah, the sultan bestowed the title of Hy- 1 der Mahal on Bhagmati and thus was born Hyderabad. The Qutub Shahi rulers were great builders and patrons of learn- ing. Mohamed Quli Qutub Shah built the mosque, whose construc- tion began in 1614 and Aurangazeb completed it in 1687.

TREATMENT OF CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND OLD PEOPLE IN INDIAN ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURES 17 – 19 December 2014 Osmania University Centre for International Programmes Osmania University Campus, Hyderabad – 500 007 (INDIA) Ph: +91-40-27098609, 27079914 Fax: +91-40-27070137 Website: www.oucip.in Email: [email protected], [email protected] 1 Call for Papers SEMINAR “WHICH WAY THE HUMAN RIGHTS? TREATMENT OF CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND OLD PEOPLE IN INDIAN ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURES CONCEPT NOTE The first half of the twentieth century was marked by conflicts, communist revolutions, and two wars. Millions of people died and many millions became homeless. There was rampant crime, violence, cruelty, torture-- perpetrated by the powerful over the powerless. Hunger, deprivation, destitution, fear death, murder, oppression and exploitation were the hallmarks of the times. None felt secure from the rampant inhuman misery inflicted upon humanity by human beings only. Man became the greatest enemy of man—the deadly beast devoid of sympathy, goodness, and grace—slouching over a vast terrain in search of the human blood. The basic human rights, especially of the old people, women, children and the poor, took a severe beating at the hands of such totalitarian perpetrators of random crime and violence. Man and women needed a guaranteed protection of their life, dignity, and integrity from the blood thirsty hounds of humanity. After the end of the Second World War and the creation of the United Nations, the international community strongly felt that the human rights to life, dignity, integrity, and to other necessary things for a meaningful survival needed to be preserved and propagated by rule of law.
