This is a great book if you are interested in knowing the history of the music & Arts in hyderabad. There is so much I did not about this place & the culture of music here & reading this gave me so much clarity about the informations I have been looking for .Thankyou kamalakar pasupuleti ji for your beautiful contribution. Would definitely recommend this book .
I know Kamlakar ji since 7 years, though I have not met him so far. His knowledge about the Cultural aspects of old Hyderabad state is simply awesome.
I have read this book and find that lot of research has gone into it. Being from Hyderabad state, I enjoyed the nostalgia through this book. I am into my late 70s and many of the things described-the landmarks etc- have been seen by me.
The book will surely be a great help to the students of History and will also.
I strongly recommend this book to those who genuinely want to know more about old history of Hyderabad and for those who want to enjoy the nostalgia.
