Answer 2

Hyderabad pronunciation (help·info) or Haydarābād /haɪd̪əraːbaːd̪/ (Telugu: హైదరాబాదు,Urdu: حیدر آباد ) is the capital city of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is in the Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh. With approximately 6.1 million people (61lakh), it is India's 6th largest metropolis [1] and the 41st largest metropolitan area in the world. Hyderabad has a twin city named Secunderabad which was formed when the British residency of the erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad had set up a military base near Hyderabad. Hyderabad is known for its rich history, culture and architecture representing its unique characteristic of a meeting point for North and South India, and its multi-lingual culture, both geographically and culturally. Hyderabad has always been a place where Hindus and Muslims have co-existed peacefully for centuries.

The dialect spoken in Hyderabad and the surrounding areas of Telangana is distinct from the dialect of the coastal Andhra region. Hyderabad and the rest of Telangana have a unique culture of their own in comparison to the coastal and Rayalseema regions of Andhra Pradesh. The Telugu spoke here has assimilated lot of Urdu words into it. And the Urdu spoken here is also unique with some Marathi words and a unique Hyderabad accent, giving rise to a dialect sometimes called as Hyderabadi Hindi.

Hyderabad is also one of the most developed cities in the country, and is the emerging IT and biotech hub of India. Hyderabad and Secunderabad are twin cities, separated by the Hussain Sagar (bound by the 'Tank Bund'), an artificial lake made during the time of Ibrahim Qutb Shah in 1562. The Charminar (Urdu: "Four Minars") monument, built in the center of Hyderabad by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah in 1591, is a commemoration of the eradication of a plague in the region.

History
Main article: History of Hyderabad

Charminar on an evening sky.
Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah (Urdu: محمد قلى قطب شاه), Sultan of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, ruled from Hyderabad.Hyderabad was founded on the banks of the Musi river in the present day Andhra Pradesh by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, Sultan of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, in 1590; this relocation was intended to relieve a water shortage the dynasty had experienced at their old headquarters at Golkonda. They ruled over the Telangana region and some parts of present day Karnataka and Maharashtra.[2]

Theories explaining the origins and etymology behind Hyderabad's name differ. A popular theory suggests that after founding the city, Muhammad Quli fell in love with and married a local Banjara girl known as Bhagamathi. He named this city after her as Bhagyanagaram. Upon her conversion to Islam, Bhagamathi changed her name to Hyder Mahal — and the new city's name was correspondingly changed to match it, resulting in the eponymous name "Hyderabad" (literally, "the city of Hyder").

When India gained independence in 1947, under the terms of independence from the British the State of Hyderabad headed by the Prime Minister, the cabinet and the Nizam were in their right and opted for independence, either as a sovereign ruler or by acquiring Dominion status within the British Empire. The princely states could opt for remaining independent or join either India or Pakistan under the terms of independence to wich India was a signatory.

India abrogated and enforced an economic blockade on the land locked state. In order to keep essential trade and supplies flowing, Hyderabad state signed a Standstill Agreement with the Indian Union which surrounded the state from all sides. The will of the people was never ascertained by a referendem if people of the state wanted to join India or remain independent. The economic blockade was an illegal action so was the invasion of Hyderabad that eventually took place under Home Minister Sardar Patel. It was Operation Polo. On September 17, 1948, more than a year after India had gained independence, Hyderabad was occupied after five days of killings of innocent civilians as Hyderabad was a peaceful and an unarmed state.

The Nizam signed, under threat of force, the Instrument of Accession to the Indian Union, and Hyderabad was forced into the Indian Union as a state. But the old Hyderabad governace was so popular that they had to continue for the next 8 years as a separate state within the union. But the discrimination that took place against those Hindus and Muslims who were opposed to the forcible change has to be heard to be believed.

On November 1, 1956, the states of India were reorganized on linguistic grounds. The terrorities of the State of Hyderabad were divided between newly created Andhra Pradesh, Bombay state (later Maharashtra), and Karnataka. Hyderabad and the surrounding areas were added to Andhra Pradesh based on the Telugu speaking community, thus making Hyderabad the capital city of the new state of Andhra Pradesh. New populations entirely different in culture were brought in the city of lakes and gardens making it to loose its distinct identity and beauty. Population was made to explode.

Andhra Pradesh inherited from the State of Hyderabad great academic institutes and research labs, both public and private institutes with very diverse areas of interest from Developmental Banking at the [[Institute for Development in Research and Banking Technology]. The infrastructural facilities for basic research in Hyderabad are among the best in the country, hosting a large academic population from all over the country and beyond.

Historically, Hyderabad has been the city where the distinct cultural and linguistic traditions of North India and South India meet. The Muslim culture of Hyderabad has fused with south Indian traditions of the region.

Hyderabad is a unique cosmopolitan city and home to people practicing Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism. Hyderabadis have developed their own distinctive culture, which is a mixture of the centuries old Islamic Culture and the Hindu traditions of the Telugu people.

Telugu and Urdu are the principal languages spoken in Hyderabad. Telugu being the official language of Andhra Pradesh (and the second largest language in India after Hindi), is widely spoken here. Hyderabad has always had one of the largest Urdu speaking populations in India, and the famous Osmania University here was the first Urdu medium university in India.
