SANJAYOVACHA | How Pluralism, Liberalism Define Hyderabad Identity

Cosmopolithism has deep roots in Haydarabad. India’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru called Haydarabad’s “Second Capital of India, and the summer house of the President of Rashtrapathi Nilayam, Sectunderabad, was nothing. A few years ago, Bengaluru tried to claim the status of a second capital, but this is the increasing linguistic chauvinism, where Cosmopolitan Garden City was paid to such claims.

For this reason, TaLangana Prime Minister Revanth Redy published a message last week in the pitch of the things that he published a message: “Whichever language you speak, who you wear, who you live with, what you believe in, what you make, Haydarabad, Haydarabad, Hayderabad to Hyderabad, to work, to work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work

Prime Minister Redy deserves full notes for publishing this statement. However, to be sure, it has a legacy inherited. From the beginning of the twentieth century, the regime of Nizam recognized the value of inviting talents from all over the country and adopted a liberal approach to provide employment to everyone from distant lands. After the independence, governments followed this tradition despite many difficulties.

Of course, the process began earlier when the executives of Hyderabad began to rent North India Kayasthas. The fact that the state of Haydarabad included Vidarbha speaking in Kanna in the Kanna, and the fact that Urdu and Urdu were spoken in the regions of the state, Telugu, Kannada and Marathi in the regions of Eski Haydarabad.

The British Canton in Secunderabad attracted Tamil and Malayalam speaking communities from the Presidency of Madras and Punjab speakers from the north.

Haydarabad’s economic welfare attracted the communities of Rajasthani and Gujarati. Different places identified with different language groups. Kannada and Marathi, Kachiguda, Himayathnagar and Tilak road were heard more often. Tamil in Jeera and Marredpally. There was a coastal Andhra accent spoken in Nallakunta and Chikkadpalli, Telugu, a mixture of Urdu and Dakhni – Urdu, Telugu and Marathi – would be heard all over the old city.

For this reason, it was ironic that Haydarabad became the capital of Andhra Pradesh, the capital of India’s first linguistic state. Nevertheless, political leadership and elite of the city for consecutive generations did not allow linguistic chauvinism to raise his head. True, many of the coastal zone complained until the 1970s, without having knowledge about Dakhni and Hindi, and that he could not walk around in Haydarabad and not only help Telugu. However, over time, the use of telugu has become more common, and more importantly, most language groups have become bilingual. It took a long time for the Urdu and Hindi loudspeakers to be bilingual, but they even learned to speak Telugu if reading and not writing.

This historical and social evolution of Haydarabad is this historical and social evolution, which made it cosmopolitan and Tamil Nadu in the south and Tamil Nadu and Karnataka in the West in the West and most of the East and most Hindi India seizes Bengal. Even the capital of the country, after passing through the periods when the city was Fait with Urdu and Punjab, the dominant hindi has become increasingly languages.

Linguistic cosmopolitanism alone is not the distinctive feature of Haydarabad. At the same time, it was easily adapted to different religious groups and is open to waves called “non -mulki” and “foreigners ında in the past. When TaLangana separated himself from Andhra Pradesh, there was a population population census executive movement to “extraordinary”. Previous agitations for a separate telangana are even called “mulki agitations ..

Tahangana’s first prime minister K. Chandrasekhara Rao (KCR) sent a panic wave between the Andhra community of the Great Haydarabad when he made provocative speeches against “foreigners”. However, the smarter advisor rapidly won the leadership thanks to the prediction and liberalism of KT Rama Rao, son of KCR. Together with the KCR and KTR, N. Chandrababu Naidu and YS Rajasekhara Reddy chose to propose the development priorities they have inherited from their predecessors.

During the Covid-19 locking, when thousands of immigrant workers were dismissed throughout the country and were miserable, and most state government remained silent viewers of the mass migration of the troubled working class walking home, went to KCR television, and the “North Indian brothers” would not leave the city and the state government would not take care. Mr. Revanth Redy’s last advertisement, “Haydarabad welcomes everyone,” he explained.

Indeed, this is the radical cosmopolitanism of Hyderabad, who separates him from Bengaluru and Chennai today. Linguistic Parocalism in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu challenges the further development of Bengaluru and Chennai. In Mumbai, we see that the revival of Marathi chauvinism and Gujarat is always the only language state, even if the two most famous national leaders are introduced in India Hindi.

Mr. Revanth Redy’s last poster to Hyderabad, which meets everything, goes far beyond language. Perhaps it is the most liberal expression expression recently published by any political leader. Feel comfortable in Haydarabad, regardless of which belief you have, which belief you pursue, which dress you wear, and which sexual orientation you have. As a Haydararabadi, I can guarantee this claim. Nevertheless, you should realize that these syncretic cultural threats are almost below the surface.

Considering the competition between Haydarabad and Bengaluru, even the linguistic chauvinism in Karnataka warned Haydarabad, who warned Prime Minister Siddaramaiah because of the Language of Prime Minister Siddaramaiah, and has the opportunity to regain his status as the second capital of India as the second capital of India. And unlike India’s first capital, it can really grow as a cosmopolitan and liberal urban space.

What Haydarabad still needs is better ways, cleaner neighborhoods, more green space, better traffic management and less noise pollution. Both Hindus and Muslims have made Haydarabad very noisy, the religious assertiveness of Muslims, too many mosques and temples and sirens on many mosques and temples and ministers.
