Edited by Kousar J Azam

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

There is great interest in recent scholarship in the study of metropolitan cultures in India as evident from the number of books that have appeared on cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.

Though Hyderabad has a rich archive of history scattered in many languages, very few attempts have been made to bring this scholarship together. The papers in this volume bring together this scholarship at one place.

They trace the contribution of different languages and literary cultures to the multicultural mosaic that is the city of HyderabadHow it has acquired this uniqueness and how it has been sustained is the subject matter of literary cultures in Hyderabad.

This work attempts to trace some aspects of the history of major languages practiced in the city.

It also reviews the contribution of the various linguistic groups that have added to the development not just of varied literary cultures, but also to the evolution of an inclusive Hyderabadi culture. The present volume, it is hoped, will enthuse both younger and senior scholars and students to take a fresh look at the study of languages and literary cultures as they have evolved in India's cities and add to the growing scholarship of metropolitan cultures in India.
