1 General Guidelines

During your field visit in India, you will be visiting Hydera- bad, Dharwad and Bangalore. You will have the opportu- nity to interact with farmers, rural women, school children, Indian faculty and students, Sathguru staff and the local community folks. During your interactions, you may experi- ence the following:

• Many of the locals will speak in their own language; in Hyderabad, this would be Telugu /Hindi /Urdu; in Ban- galore and Dharwad it would be in Kannada

• Some of the local hosts may speak English but the ac- cent is usually very hard for foreigners to understand

• In all the cities we will have our Indian students/Sath- guru staff and Cornell faculty (Dr. K V Raman &Prof. Sy Rizvi) who will be able to help with the translation

• During the field visits make sure you take relevant notes, pictures and videos that are usually approved but check with the faculty mentor to see that the host approves of this

• Prior to the field visits read the details of each visit and what is expected in terms of key takeaways. If you have questions it would be good to ask them during the field visit. Faculty will facilitate interaction during various visits

2 • During group discussions which will happen periodi- cally after field visits, make sure you bring to the atten- tion of all other groups and faculty mentors, the topics which need further clarification (questions, etc.)

• To know more about India and to benefit maximum from your trip, interact with the Indian team from day one, who will be with you during the entire trip

• Keep in regular touch with your faculty and Sathguru staff at all times in case of emergency

3 Health Precautions

• Drink bottled water only. Do not buy the bottle if the seal is tampered. Check for the expiry date. Interna- tional brands such as Kinley and Aquafina are availa- ble every where. Bisleri is the trusted local brand • Always wash your hands before and after eating. Use a hand sanitizer if water is not available • Wash your hands before and after using the rest room at all times to avoid carrying harmful bacteria or infec- tions • If you are eating a fruit, wash it with your bottled water and cut it yourself • Avoid buying/eating food from a street vendor • Indian food is varied, salted, delicious and spicy. Eat more rice than the sauce. If it is too spicy, have it with yogurt • Wounds, cuts and bruises should be attended to im- mediately in order to prevent any infection • If you have a health emergency inform the faculty/co- ordinating staff immediately • If you have a special medical need, please inform your trip coordinator or the person in charge • Use mosquito protection and sunscreen as needed • A first aid medical kit is available with each team at all times • Contact your faculty or coordinating staff in case a need arises • Cover your head, hands, and feet properly during the fieldvisits

4 Airport Security

• The Government of India has established stringent security measures at all airports, railway stations and other public locations

• While entering the airport, passengers must pro- duce their passports / photo ID proof issued by the college or the Government and a printed copy of the ticket. Then proceed and get the baggage scanned. Only scanned baggage will be accepted as checked-in baggage • All hand baggage will be scanned through an elec- tronic scanner in the first stage and will again be physically checked prior to boarding and if neces- sary passengers may be frisked by the security per- sonnel. Coins, keys, wallets, belts, laptops and met- al objects must be placed on a tray provided by the security personnel. If sharp objects or prohibited ar- ticles such as pocket knives, lighters, match boxes, trimming scissors, containers of prohibited liquids or gels, etc., are found in hand baggage, security per- sonnel may have it discarded prior to boarding

• Extra charges may apply for overweight or addition- al baggage (please check with your airline). After check- in please collect your boarding passes and proceed to the security check and then on to the boarding gates for boarding your respective aircraft • All members of the team are requested to cooperate with the security personnel and follow instructions to ensure hassle free boarding. In order to make things easy, be sure to be present at the check-in counter at least two hours before departure, to avoid incon- venience or last minute hassles • Keep extra photocopies of the relevant pages of your passport. This will be required for permits in India

5 Packing and Luggage information for Domestic travel in India

Keep belt, cell phones and metal objects in your hand baggage. During security check, take your laptop out of its case / bag & place it in the container provided to you. Do not leave your passports in the container. Be very careful with your passport and ensure that you don’t lose it. Always keep your identification proof and the boarding pass in hand and produce it at the departure gates on request. After security check, do remember to collect all your belongings including your boarding pass, ID proof and passport without fail. 6 Cultural Tips

• Indian food is traditionally eaten with the fingers of the right hand, so get ready to eat with your fingers if neces- sary. Keep your fingernails short and clean. • Greet people with a Namaste (hands pressed together at chest level as if in prayer). You will be appreciated for using this Indian style of greeting. • You are expected to remove your footwear when visit- ing most Indian homes, temples, dargahs or tombs. • Before taking a taxi/auto rickshaw, know exactly where you want to go and always agree on the price first. • Always keep someone informed of where you are go- ing. • If you are fair complexioned, blonde or red-haired, chances are that you may be stared at. Don’t be offend- ed, they mean no harm, it is just out of curiosity. • While seeking directions, ask shopkeepers, not pedes- trians. Cross check with atleast two people. • Taxi and auto rickshaw fares keep changing, so do not always confirm to readings on meters. Insist on seeing the latest rate card (available with the driver) and pay accordingly. Insist on the taxi/auto meter being flagged down in your presence. • Be aware of your surroundings. Someone may try to touch or snatch valuable items like wallet, purse, jewel- lery etc. • Beggars are common in and around most places such as shopping venues, traffic signals and public areas. Do not encourage them. • Always go out in groups & preferably have at least one member from the Indian team accompanying you. 7 Facts and History of India

8 Introduction to Cities to be visited

Telangana Telangana is a semi-arid area and has a predominantly hot and dry climate. The economy of Telangana is mainly driven by agriculture. Two important rivers of India, the Godavari and Krishna, flow through the state, providing irrigation. Farmers in Telangana mainly depend on rain-fed water sources for irrigation. Rice is the major food crop. Other important local crops are cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco. There are many multi-state irrigation projects in development, includ- ing Godavari River Basin Irrigation Projects and Nagarjuna- Sagar Dam, the world’s highest masonry dam. The state has also started to focus on the fields of Information Technolo- gy and Biotechnology. Telangana is one of top IT exporting states of India.

Hyderabad Hyderabad, the fifth largest metropolis in India and the state capital of Telangana, is known for its rich history and culture with monuments, mosques, temples and a rich and varied heritage in arts, crafts and dance. The Hussain Sagar, an ar- tificial lake constructed during the time of Ibrahim QuliQutub Shah in 1562 A.D., separates the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secundrabad. The city is over 400 years old and is noted for its natural beauty, mosques and minarets, bazaars and bridges, hills and lakes.

Qutb Shahi tombs Coach Departs at: 1.30pm from Hotel Taj Deccan Dist. & Time: 13km from Hotel Taj Deccan- 45m approximate

The Qutb Shahi Tombs are located in the Ibrahim Bagh (gar- den precinct), close to the famous Golconda Fort in Hydera- bad, India. They contain the tombs and mosques built by the various kings of the QutbShahi dynasty. The galleries of the smaller tombs are of a single story while the larger ones are two storied. In the center of each tomb is a sarcophagus which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces now remain. The tombs form a large cluster and stand on a raised plat- form. The tombs are domed structures built on a square base surrounded by pointed arches, a distinctive style that blends Persian, Pashtun and Hindu forms. The tombs are structures with intricately carved stonework and are surrounded by land- scaped gardens. The tombs were once furnished with carpets, chandeliers and velvet canopies on silver poles. Copies of the Quran were kept on pedestals and readers recited verses from the holy book at regular intervals. Golden spires were fitted over the tombs of the sultans to distinguish their tombs from those of other members of the royal family.

The Qutb Shahi Tombs are located in the Ibrahim Bagh (gar- den precinct), close to the famous Golconda Fort in Hyder- abad, India. They contain the tombs and mosques built by the various kings of the QutbShahi dynasty. The galleries of the smaller tombs are of a single story while the larger ones are two storied. In the center of each tomb is a sarcophagus which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces now remain. The tombs form a large cluster and stand on a raised plat- form. The tombs are domed structures built on a square base surrounded by pointed arches, a distinctive style that blends Persian, Pashtun and Hindu forms. The tombs are structures with intricately carved stonework and are surrounded by land- scaped gardens. The tombs were once furnished with carpets, chandeliers and velvet canopies on silver poles. Copies of the Quran were kept on pedestals and readers recited verses from the holy book at regular intervals. Golden spires were fitted over the tombs of the sultans to distinguish their tombs from those of other members of the royal family.

Dist. & Time: 9.7 km from Hotel Taj Deccan, 30 mins approx.

Once regarded as the center of Hyderabad, the magnificent Chowmahalla Palace was the seat of the AsafJahi dynasty where the Nizams entertained their official guests and royal visitors. Built over 200 years ago, Chowmahalla is renowned for its unique style and elegance. A synthesis of many ar- chitectural styles and influences, the Palace Complex has been meticulously restored. The architecture of this beautiful pal- ace has the impact of the Persian, Rajasthani, and In- doSaracenic and European styles. Both the northern as well as southern courtyards are beautifully decorated with lavish gardens and cascading fountains. Historians reveal that it is an exact replica of the palace of the Shah of Iran in Tehran.

BhoodhanPochampally is a Mandal in Nalgonda District, Tel- angana, in southern India and is popularly known as silk city of India. Pochampally is the place where threads and colors find their way from the hand of skillful weavers and meander into the market as beautiful saris and dress material.

The history of manufacturing Pochampally silk sari goes back to 1970 , when it was decided by some village headman of Pochampally to weave silk along with cotton (cotton weaving was being done from a long time ), to make a better living.

They sent two young weavers to learn the secrets of the art to Bangalore. Thus was the beginning of revolution era in the Pochampally handloom industry, which led to the eventual dominance of the Indian tie & dye patola industry. Pocham- pally products are handcrafted to perfection by skilled artisans who acquire the critical skills and work with intricate designs, having decades of experience behind them in their respective fields.
