- HISTORY
The area around Hyderabad was ruled by the Mauryan Empire in the third century B.C during the region of
Ashoka the Great. After the death of Ashoka (232 BCE), as the Maurya Empire began to weaken and decline, the
Sātavāhanas who started out as feudatories to the Mauryan dynasty, declared independence and established their
empire in this region.
Hyderabad was named as the City of Hyder after the title of the Fourth Caliph Ali. Many people
though, commonly believe
that the city of "Hyderabad" was named after the people as their residence as "City of the
Brave" from the Persian words
"Hyder/Haider"..
