Brief History: Hyderabad is a District in the
Sindh Province of Pakistan. It is administratively divided into four
talukas (sub-divisions); Hyderabad City, Hyderabad Rural, Latifabad and
Qasimabad. The district HQ is at Hyderabad city, the 2nd largest city in
the Sindh Province after Karachi, and the 5th largest city in the
country.
Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro of the Kalhora Dynasty founded Hyderabad
city in 1768 over the ruins of Neroon Kot, a small fishing village on
the banks of River Indus named after its ruler Neroon. Ghulam Shah
Kalhoro built a fort (on one of the three hills of Hyderabad) with
fire-baked bricks, thus it got the name Pacco Qillo (the strong fort).
After the death of the last Kalhoro, the Talpur dynasty ruled the
region and made Hyderabad its capital in 1789. The British Army led by
General Napier defeated Talpurs at the Battle of Miani in 1843 and
Hyderabad came under their control. The British made the city part of
the Bombay Presidency of British colonial empire.
After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, Hyderabad was made the
capital of Sindh . In 1955, the provinces were dissolved and the One
Unit (West Pakistan) was formed and Lahore was its capital. In 1969 the
One Unit was also dissolved and Karachi was made the capital of Sindh.
Hyderabad is the largest bangle producer in the world.

Last photo, “Hyderabad city in 1875”, kis elaqay ki hai?
This is a very old pic of 1875. You would observe that those we are mud houses. Those must be converted into a Housing Colony.
Other visitors of this Post are requested to throw some light on this aspect.
