Secunderabad-Hyderabad's unsung twin!:- Also known as Sikandar-a-bad, Secunderabad is commonly referred to as Hyderabad's twin city. Located in the newly formed state of Telangana, this city has always been of great importance, both culturally and economically. It was named after SikandarJah, the IIIrd Nizam of the AsafJahi dynasty, and it was originally founded in 1806 AD as popular and strategic cantonment for the British.
Despite both the cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad being referred to as twin cities, their histories and cultures are very different from each other. Even the layout of buildings, the style of life and the very atmosphere is not similar. Mainly since Secunderabadwas developed directly under British rule till 1948, leaving Hyderabad as the capital of the Nizams' princely state.
Geographically speaking The Hussain Sagar separates the city from Hyderabad, no longer making Secunderabada separate municipal unit, but a part of Hyderabad. For quite a bit, both the cities are commonly referred to as Hyderabad, making it the sixth largest Indian metropolis.
The city was constructed as the country house of the British Resident at Hyderabadin 1860. It features a Residency House called the Rashtrapati Nilayam, which currently serves as the official retreat of the President of India.
The varied mix of cultures and different communities such as the Parsis, Anglo-Indians alongside British and native inhabitants made Secunderabada historically significant cosmopolitan city.
As of now, Secunderabad serves as the headquarters to the South Central Railway Zone of the Indian Railways. It is connectedby one of the oldest and biggest railway stations in both the cities - the Secunderabad Railway Station. Secunderabad also happens to be on of Wadi-Vijayawada railway route's major junctions.
