Opis

Though Hyderabad has a rich archive of history scattered in many languages, very few attempts have been made to bring this scholarship together. This volume brings this scholarship at one place. They trace the contribution of different languages and literary cultures to the multicultural mosaic that is the city of Hyderabad. This work attempts to trace some aspects of the history of major languages practiced in the city. It also reviews the contribution of the various linguistic groups that have added to the evolution of an inclusive Hyderabadi culture.
