About the city:
Hyderabad is more than just a picture postcard setting. A city of subtle contrasts everywhere you look. It is here that Orient and the occident meet, the pre-modern and the modern mingle, palatial buildings and slums co-exist.
The city where east meets west in Indian cultures, Hyderabad is also often described as the link between the North and the South.
The foundations were laid in the year 1589 by the fifth sultan of Golconda, Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah who had a torrid romance with a Banjara woman named Bhagmati, after whom the city was first named as Bhagya Nagar. Later to perpetuate his wife's memory, he enlarged the fort city of Golconda and bestowed on her the title "Haider Mahal". The city later came to be known as Hyderabad.
Once Hyderabad was known for it's Domes, Minarets and pearls. It hass now also become "Cyberabad" an investors paradise in the field of Technology as well as intellectual solace.
It is India's 5'th largest metropolis and a major industrial and educational center. While Telugu is the official and native language, a dialect Urdu called 'Deccan' is widely spoken. Usage of Marati, Kannada, Tamil and English has given the city a multilingual character.
