Hyderabad/Secunderabad was on my list of places to visit Mohan. I first went there and lived in Hyderabad in 1959 for a month: then again I was there in 1977: and, last year I went back again.

Golconda is still much the same but the crowding and congestion of the city is quite sad...compared to what it was. There is a marvelous slow pace to Hyderabad.

All too often, however, all these Indian cities are and have been the magnets of the dispossessed and the want-to-be peasants, who see a better life in the crowded cities. One wonders if they wouldn't really be better off back in their villages.

I wrote a book on Hyderabad during the period of the Nizams, the Nizam as late as 1940 was the richest man in the world.
