The Qutb Shahi dynasty was founded by Sultan Quli Qutb Mulk. This dynasty was the rulers of Golconda. Muhammed Quli Qutb Shah, from Qutb Shahi dynasty was the founder of Hyderabad. Charminar was also built by Sultan Quli Qutb Shah, which is the icon of the city.
During the 16th and 17th century the power of Qutb Shahi dynasty rose and Hyderabad became an important center of diamond trade. The diamonds of the Golconda mines gave birth to some of the world famous diamonds like “ Koh-i-Noor”, “ Hope Diamond” and “ Darya e-Noor”. Economic prosperity brought forth the Cultural and literary affluence. Persian and Indo-Islamic culture were predominant in the area. Besides, local Telegu culture also flourished under the patronages of the rulers. Gradually, replacing Golconda, Hyderabad became the capital of the Qutb Shahi rulers.
In 1687, Hyderbad was captured by Aurangzeb. However, under the Mughal rule the appointed governors became powerful and gained autonomy. Asaf Jah I, who got the title of Nizam-ul-Mulk established control over Hyderabad in 1724. From then to a year after India’s independence Hyderabad was under the rule of Asaf Jah dynasty. The successors of Asfa Jah were known as Nizams. Hyderabad under the rule of seven Nizams reached the peak of affluence in art, architecture and culture.
Thus is the tale of history of Hyderabad. The wealth and affluence of the Nizams are legendary and that you can discover the splendor in the grand past of the city, which the present of Hyderabad still retains.
