KNOW YOUR CITY...SECUNDERABAD
Actually, HISTORY- The lovely subject which i love most, every one knowingly or unknowingly reads or go through the history to know what was the past. it's quite interesting too. I love much to know whats our past and what are the cultures, customs, hidden facts, traditions, revolts....e.t.c., and not make you bore by my introduction straightly coming to point. lets know what was the city secunderabad....
SECUNDERABAD, great city of 200 years history .One of the largest cantonments in India. sixth largest metropolis in our country together with hyderabad.
It was named after the king SIKANDAR JAH, III NIZAM OF ASHAF JAHI DYNASTY. It was found in the year 1806AD as a BRITISH CANTONMENT. Though SEC is a part of HYD as twin city but their cultures and histories are totally diversified. Bound to my last statement, in respect of history, it was directly developed by BRITISH SOVEREIGN till 1948. unlikely HYDERABAD was the princely state of NIZAM.
As we go deep in to history, SEC was directly under the control of British after the HYDERABAD NIZAM ASHAF JAH II was defeated at the hands of BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY and forced to sign on the TREATY OF SUBSIDIARY ALLIANCE indeed it was signed by him to get support of British troops in 1798 AD. In 1803 the IIIRD NIZAM SIKANDAR JAH named after him as secunderabad. prior to that the name of the city was ULWUL. The city was formed in 1806 , after the order was signed by the Nizam alloting the land north of Hussain Sagar to set up the British Cantonment .
HUSSAIN SAGAR IS A MANMADE FRESHWATER LAKE SEPERATING HYD AND SEC, BUILT BY QUTUB SAHI DYNASTY in 16th CENTUARY.
thee are many unique and large historica charecters in sec. let me show hen in a point manner.:
* Unlikely Hyderabad, the official language of secunderabad was English.
* Various markets like the Regimental bazar and general bazar were created.
* Secunderabad Railway Station one of the largest in India which is also the zonal headquarters of South Central Railways established in 1874.
* After the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, the construction of a seven meter high wall was started at Trimulgherry and completed in 1867.
*The King Edward Memorial Hospital, now known as Gandhi Hospital was established in 1851. A Civil Jail (now a heritage building known as Old Jail complex near Monda Market) was also established.
* Originally constructed in 1860 as the country house of the British Resident at Hyderabad, the Residency House is now known as the Rashtrapati Nilayam, the official retreat of the President of India.
* Sir Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II, was posted in Secunderabad during the 1880s as a subaltern in the British Army
* Sir Ronald Ross conducted his initial research on the cause of malaria in the city of Secunderabad.The original building is today called the Sir Ronald Ross Institute and is located on Minister Road
* Post-Independence, the Secunderabad Cantonment Board came under the jurisdiction of the Indian Armed forces. Consequently large military units were established. The popular neighbourhood in Secunderabad are Paradise Circle, Sitaphalmandi, Kharkhana, Ranigunj,
[New Bhoiguda,Secunderabad] etc.
