Hyderabad:
The 115th birth anniversary of K. Krishna Swamy Mudiraj, former Mayor of
Hyderabad, will be held on August 23 at Mudiraj Bhavan, New Boiguda. Freedom
fighter, journalist and historian, Mudiraj is known for the book – Pictorial
Hyderabad – authored by him in 1929. Born in a middle class family, Mudiraj
became a great educationist of his time. He also emerged as a prominent
politician and a freedom fighter. Popularly referred to as “Mudiraj Petamaha”,
he was the founder president of Mudiraj Mahasabha. He went round the country,
established the all India Mudiraj Mahasabha and wrote the history of Mudiraj
community. His two volume Pictorial Hyderabad gives a rare insight into the
history of the Hyderabad State, its rulers and administration. It received wide
acclaim from both Indian and international press when it was published in 1929.
His idea of writing the book was to give an “unvarnished and faithful record”
of all that took place during the rule of Asafjahis. Not just the historical
and biographical aspects of the erstwhile rulers, nawabs and jagirdars, the
book also mentions the interesting accounts of Hindu and Muslim saints. The
rare book has been reprinted and is now available for sale with M. Narsimhulu
Mudiraj.
He can be contacted on phone 24066959 or 93463-56861.
