Habsiguda
Habsiguda is a neighbourhood in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It is located at the eastern end of the city between Tarnaka and Uppal. It forms Ward No. 7 of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.[2]
History of Habsiguda
The origin of the name Habsiguda may have originated from Habshi meaning African and guda a suffix for village; Habshi was a common term referring to the Siddi, Africans from Al-Habash (an Arabic term for Abbysinia or Ethiopia).[3] This barren land was a Cattle ground for Nizams of Deccan Princely State, and was probably the home of the African troops in Nizam's military[citation needed]. Abyssinians used to be brought as labourers by Nizams to take care of their cattle. Habshi's (people from Abyssinia) lived for decades in and around this area hence the name "Habshi-guda" and now being called as Habsiguda.[4] Today one can still find these Abyssinians in many parts of Old City and especially in "Barkas". Many of these people were mixed with local people and accepted in all communities.
Later Habsiguda was occupied by many construction and plantation labourers that were brought from surrounding districts to construct Osmania University by Mir Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah Vii (Last Nizam of Hyderabad Deccan).
Habsiguda remained as a hamlet under "Nacharam Village" until 1981 and later became an independent Grampanchayat under Uppal Kalan Municipality and now its part of Hyderabad Metropolitan City.[citation needed]
