Re: Renaming cities and other places

thats how our local media use it when some minister visits smrit sonia gandhi to complaint on party members :P

upcoure everyone calls it hyderabad or hyderabadu.bhagyanagaram is a very old name which generally media uses unlike other cities which were changed during british time

and what do u mean by locals ,almost 50 percent of population come from defferent parts of andhra state.....
hyderabad expanded almost 10 times. all those banjara/jubliee were some hilly terrain before film industry crush it to make one of the richest area in the country
places like hitech city/madhapur were seperate villages before turing into Huge IT market which is again brain child of mr chandra babu naidu who is not local

baghyam means luck or blessing similar to sowbhagyam sanskrit word

,bhagyanagaram means city of luck or blessed since it was ancient capital of Kakatiya dynasty

Re: Renaming cities and other places


ohhhhh...to, it's BHAAGYA [luck, Qismat]...someone wrote as BAGYA...the poster forgot to add an 'H' after B to make the BHA sound...now, i know it's Bhagya Nagar...

...it has been proposed and the name hasn't been officially changed yet...i think there will be a lot of opposition to it...right?

Re: Renaming cities and other places

I remember reading that hyderabad was initially named Bhagnagar in honour of a nauch girl whom Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah was in love with. After they got married, her name became hyder mahal and the city’s name too changed to Hyderabad .:confused:

Not always. In Pakistan, only the names given by British empire were change to more paksitani-ish names. Faislabad from Lyallpur, Sahiwal from Montgomery.

PS: I just read that Nawabshah is now Benazirabad? Please tell me that its not true :smack:
