Rishi is a passive bystander who lets life happen to him. Very rarely does he take action to change his circumstances or rectify his mistakes until life throws one of it curves.

Download or read book A Song of Hyderabad written by Bilquis Jehan Naseruddeen Khan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a remarkably honest and unabashed account of a life that begins during the fading days of the wealthiest of India's princely states. Bilquis Jehan was born in 1930 into a family with ties to the court of the Nizam of Hyderabad and enjoyed the privilege and luxury of a way of life that no longer exists. Her tale takes us through her childhood and her marriage at the age of 16, just at the birth of modern India and Pakistan. Her new life in Pakistan as the wife of an executive (himself half-European), working for a multi-national corporation, is recounted with insight and delight. She and her family join the cosmopolitan world of the elite in what is now the mega-city of Karachi, travels and experiences the world, far beyond what her own childhood would have predicted. Through all the changes she preserves her heritage in her own way, transmitting it through her books, Mughal Cuisine and Khush Ziaka, of Mughal and Hyderabadi cuisine. This is also a personal account of her spiritual journey based on the Sufi teachings of her pir and her father of the Chishtiya and Qadria silsilas in India. She opens a window onto a life that incorporates both modernity and religion, in contrast to the increasingly strident and politicized Islam that has gained a foothold in Pakistan. Bilquis Jehan's life mirrors the monumental changes in her time through the quotidian. Her life is described in these pages with candour, and an abiding love for the world she left behind and the new world she grew to love.

Download or read book Hyderabad written by Narendra Luther and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muhammad Quil Qutb Shah built the beautiful city of Hyderabad as a 'replica of heaven on earth'. It was plundered in 1687 by the Mughal forces led by Aurangzeb. After a long period of neglect it rose to be the capital of the expansive Deccan province. The city witnessed phenomenal expansion under Asaf Jah I, and also the dissipation of his legacy. The author acknowledges the most unique feature of this city--the continuance of its cosmopolitan character in the face of communal pressures. He attributes this amalgam of Hindu and Muslim cultures to the mixed 'parentage'--Hind and Muslim--of its rulers. This volume spans the history of the city from its birth up to the elections of 2004. This book combines the sweep of popular history of the city with the rigour of historiography to make it a fascinating reading of the cultural and political history of the city of Hyderabad.

This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a thousand people visit the historic city every week, hiking through the ruins of Golconda fort, or gazing at the spectacular Chowmohalla palace. Enthusiastic tour guides deliver tales about the two famous courtesans of that era: Taramati and Premamati, little knowing that the city had a number of courtesans who migrated from different parts of the country, made this city their home, and sang and danced for years. During the times, courtesans were the entertainers for the masses; they were the celebrities in functions, small and big; but with the advent of the talkie, they went into oblivion. The book uncovers details about the courtesans of the era, their mujras, their life style, and about musicians who existed until the fall of Hyderabad in 1948. It also gives an account of singers and dancers who visited the city and gave memorable performances during the time. Further, the book covers various other forms of stage entertainment such as folklore and drama, and cinema.
