Thanks for this. But we should think this when the muslims role india on that time both muslims and hindus were live happily. But now Hidus are runnings mostly and muslims are living under the fear. How sad this is.

Dear, The "unknown place" pic in this blog is The Basheer Bagh Palace photographed by Lala Deen Dayal circa 1880. The palace was dismantled by the state government after Indian independence, but the area is still known as Basheerbagh.

Title Mir Osman Ali Khan, reviewing the troops march from the royal box (probably in Parade ground Secunderabad)....is incorrect...should be at Fateh Maidan Hyderabad not Secunderabad.
