Hi Denise, I can recommend Karen Leonard's book - most of us AIs from Hyderabad are included. Also another e-book - downloadable is this one on Hyderabad by Omar Khalidi. I am not sur eif my post will hit the India list so you can pass it on. regards Kerry A* Guide to Architecture in Hyderabad* contains descriptive text, photographs and maps of nearly 200 existing and demolished buildings of Hyderabad, Deccan, India. The Guide covers built environment in the city since 1590s-1950s in one of the few planned cities of medieval Islamic India. The* Guide* can be viewed as pdf at http://libraries.mit.edu/rotch/HyderabadJune262008.pdf <http:///> The *Guide* is part of documentation done at The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT. Using the Hyderabad Guide as a model, similar documentation is planned for other Indian Islamic cities. Readers are invited to send comments and questions to the author Omar Khalidi. ---------------------------------------- Omar Khalidi, PhD Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge MA 02139 USA 1-617-258-5597 okhalidi@mit.edu <http:///> Kind Regards Kerry 2008/7/13 Denise Hughes <denise_hughes@terra.es>: > Those of you who emmigrated and those of us who are children of > emmigrated Anglo Indians will, I think find this book interesting > > It's about those who came from Hyderabad, but the things described > could be applicable to people who came from other areas of India too. > > http://books.google.com/books?id=HQCvgavbQjgC&printsec=frontcover&dq=L > ocating+Home:+India%27s+Hyderabadis+Abroad+By+Karen+Isaksen+Leonard&ei > =pKF5SNy-I6HQjgHFyNiMDA&sig=ACfU3U1nbUBYbCgOii7jFpOpqfsNE6sAig > > > Denise Hughes Weston > Researching in > India: CHAMARETTE, WESTON, ASH, COMBES, THOMPSON, JOHANNES (OR > JOHANESS) & MOORE > U.K.: HUGHES & NORRIS, BOYTON & KING, WESTON & SHORTER > > > > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without > the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
