Hyderabad – Hyderabad – "The City of Nizams" Hyderabad is the capital of Telangana in Southern India. Hyderabad is home to old mosques and bazaars lined parallelly alongside swanky new office buildings and malls, this is what exactly makes Hyderabad a city worth visiting. A city rich with history and tradition, now competes with Bangalore and Chennai for the crown of India's IT capital; Microsoft and Google have their India headquarters here. Hyderabad's many epithets include the City of Pearls, the City of Nawabs, the Biryani City and, because of its high-tech industries, Cyberabad. The most iconic landmark and oldest mosque of Hyderabad is the Charminar, which is a distinguished monument that clearly exhibits the Indo-Islamic architecture of its times. Charminar, which literally translates to four minarets, is built entirely out of limestone and granite, with four minarets on four sides, each of them facing a different street. Another impressive tourist attraction in Hyderabad is the Golconda Fort, which was considered as nothing less than an architectural marvel during its times. The entire fort is bordered by a 10-kilometre long wall, and with over 80 bastions, four drawbridges, and several mosques, halls and royal residences, the fort is nothing short of imperial. While most of the fort is in ruins, hints of its regal ambience and its past grandiose still linger on. Located at a distance of approximately 850 metres away from the Golconda Fort, Qutub Shahi Tombs consist of tombs of seven Qutub Shahi rulers. Considered to be few of the oldest monuments of Hyderabad, these tombs captivate their visitors with the architectural excellence presenting a beautiful blend of Persian and Indian architectural styles. An oasis in the midst of an otherwise landlocked city, Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad is an entirely manmade lake which boasts of a 450-tonne statue of Buddha in the middle of the lake. Carved entirely out of white granite, the monolith shines brightly under the moonlight and is a beautiful place to sit and spend an evening under the stars. Weather Hyderabad receives heavy rainfall and the downpour brings about a pleasant atmosphere and allows the tourists to go out and have fun. Monsoon starts from mid-June and ends in October, the temperature ranges from 38 to 18 degrees Celsius. Culture and Attitudes Hyderabad is the meeting ground between North and South India. The city has a culture that is distinct from the rest of Telangana, showing Islamic influences and a courtly presence imparted from its period as the capital of the Nizamate. This is more evident in the old city. The new city resembles many provincial state capitals in India. Secunderabad is more cosmopolitan, as the Cantonment area is in this part of the city. Due to an influx of young men and women from various parts of the country, Hyderabad's culture and attitudes have taken a turn towards "modernity". However, the city is still a deeply conservative place, so dress appropriately, especially in the old city. Culinary delicacies of Hyderabad include: Hyderabadi dum biryani. Dum refers to the baking process and basmati rice and meat or vegetables are mixed in a pot and heated for a long time. During the Nizam's time, the biryani was made with lamb carefully cooked with rice. Double Ka Meetha. A dessert made from bread, milk and dry fruits. Hyderabadi Haleem A dish which is available only in the month of Ramadaan (Ramzan). Irani chai. This is the tea of Hyderabad, available at any of the ubiquitous "Chai" shops. Although, not all of them have the best hygiene and it is best to go with a local. Mirchi ka salan. A dish made with chili and peanut curry that serves as a tasty accompaniment to any rice dish. Markets Laad Bazar is firmly established for selling bangles of all kinds, the speciality being the Lacquer bangles from which the place acquired its name. Laad Bazar is in business for 200 years right from the time of the Nizams. The place also displays semi-precious stones, pearls, jewellery, Nirmal, Kalamkari paintings, products such as silverware, Bidri ware, and hand-woven materials of silk, cotton and also velvet, brocade, and gold embroidered fabrics, traditional Khara Dupattas, and perfumes. Timing: 11:00 am to 10:30 pm Char Minar Bazaar: Adjacent to the monument, Charminar Bazaar is stretched on four roads. It is renowned for the Barsa Pearl embellished with gold and silver that's well known in the world. You can also get a variety of clothing like sarees, Hyderabadi khada dupattas, and cute footwear. Timing: 10:00 am to 6:00 pm Shilparamam is the arts, crafts and cultural village of Hyderabad. It is a tribute to the cultural legacy of India. If authentic and rich indigenous fabric, Local Crafts, Wooden Sculptures and Jewellery are your thing, Shilparamam is the perfect place for you. Aside from shopping, the village also has museums and a recreational area where you can have a good time after your shopping adventure. Timing: 10:30 am to 08:30 pm.

  • 'The Crown of India' Masque: Reassessing Elgar and The
    Mughals, Music, and “The Crown of India” Masque: Reassessing Elgar and the Raj published in South Asian Review 31.1 (November 2010): 13-36. Abstract Edward Elgar’s 1912 masque, “The Crown of India,” was written specifically for the music hall in celebration of the crowning of King George V and Queen Mary at the Delhi Durbar in 1911. This work has been addressed by musical and postcolonial scholars, and has been appropriated by two factions: those who wish to claim Elgar as an unrepentant imperialist, and see that manifested in this work, and those who wish to see him as a beacon for anti-imperialism, who see evidence of this in the cuts that he made to the libretto, written by Henry Hamilton. What has been lacking in this discourse is a vehicle to address those cuts from a literary perspective, citing actual support from the two versions of the libretto (with and without cuts). This paper will reassess the masque in light of these libretti, and offer a new assessment of Elgar’s imperial tendencies at that point in time, and the imperialism of the Raj. Article The Great Delhi Durbar of December 12, 1911, the third, final, and most spectacular of all the Imperial Durbars, was, according to all accounts, a spectacle of unheard-of opulence and extravagance. In it, King George V and Queen Mary were presented as Emperor and Empress of India, and, in their coronation robes, accepted presents from and the fealty of over 200 Indian princes. Amidst all the pomp, some matters of great import were decided at the Durbar.

(Hobson-Jobson, 1903) A large building for the accommodation of travellers, common in Eastern countries. The word is Persian and means in that language, ‘a place, the king’s court, a large edifice’; hence karavan-serai, by corruption caravanserie, i.e. place of rest of caravans.

  • Reducing the Term of Copyright in Unpublished Works (“2039” Rule)
    December 2014 Consultation on reducing the duration of copyright in unpublished (“2039”) works in accordance with section 170(2) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 About UK Music 1. UK Music is the umbrella body representing the collective interests of the UK’s commercial music industry, from songwriters and composers to artists and musicians, studio producers, music managers, music publishers, major and independent record labels, music licensing companies and the live music sector. 2. UK Music exists to represent the UK’s commercial music sector, to drive economic growth and promote the benefits of music to British society. The members of UK Music are listed in annex 1. General 3. We see no justification to change the 2039 Rule to the extent that it impacts music, whether it is for sound recordings or musicial works. The rule constitutes a compromise achieved in 1988 in order to bring the calculation of term for unpublished works in line with the one for published works in 2039. We note that Government has not provided any evidence in the Impact Assessment which would justify their preferred Option 2a with regards to sound recordings and is otherwise very limited for other forms of works. 4. There are some important general points about the Impact Assessment that we would wish to note: a) On page 1 it is stated that the works cannot be lawfully published if copyright owners cannot be identified. The Government has recently introduced an orphan works licensing scheme to permit lawful publication of such works. In addition the Impact Assessment does not consider whether works subject to the 2039 Rule could be cleared via an extended collective licence.

  • Hyderabad City: History & Tourism
    Hyderabad City: History & Tourism Hyderabad is the capital city of the state of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh of South India. The city was founded on the River Musi by Muham- mad Quli Qutab Shah in 1591. The city is located on the Deccan Plateau and it is the fifth largest city of India. This cosmopolitan city is richly endowed with a variety of cultures. The city presents an attractive amal- gam of old world charm together with new world of hi-technology. Hyderabad city has a history of nearly four hundred years. All its began with the establishment of the Qutub Shahi dynasty. 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.
