Why Hyderabad is named as Hyderabad |
|
Answer» One popular theory suggests that the founder of the city, Muhammad Quli Qutb SHAH of the Golconda Sultanate, named it after Bhagmati, a local nautch (dancing) girl with whom he had fallen in LOVE. She converted to ISLAM and adopted the title Hyder Mahal. The city was named as HYDERABAD in her honour. |
