Hyderabad is the
modern and cosmopolitan capital city of Andhra Pradesh.
Hyderabad was founded by the Sultan Mohammed Quli Qutb Shah
in 1591. Hyderabad is often described as a link between
north and south and occupies a unique position in the map of
India. It is India's sixth largest city and a major
industrial and educational center. The Charminar, Golconda
Fort and the tomb of Qutb Shahi kings are the main
attractions of Hyderabad. Telugu is the official and native
language of Andhra Pradesh. Deccan, Marathi, Kannada, Tamil
and English are the main languages which are widely spoken
in Hyderabad. The language used in Hyderabad is an
interesting blend of Urdu and some of the other Indian
languages spoken with a peculiar accent, which sets a
Hyderabadi apart. Hyderabad is also known for its richly
flavored cuisine, handicrafts, festivals and fairs. The
present Government of Andhra Pradesh is trying to make
Hyderabad one of the most progressive cities of India and
offer incentives to make it the principal center of computer
software industry. Hyderabad can be visited throughout the
year, except in summers when the days are very hot. |
