The story of Hyderabad’s globalisation – Dr Sanjaya Baru 

Part I: The Local and global in Hyderabad’s development 

I had the good fortune of knowing Professor Waheeduddin Khan both personally and professionally.  Professor Khan was a true son of Hyderabad – gentle, genial, graceful and always affectionate.  He epitomised the best values that this city, my home, had come to symbolise. It is as a tribute to Wahid sahib’s love for this city, which I wholeheartedly share, that I have chosen to speak on my reading of Hyderabad’s links with the world.  

My interest in the link between India’s external relations and the internal change in the country, elaborated in various essays and columns and published as The Strategic Consequences of India’s Economic Performance (2006), was partly triggered by what I saw happening in Andhra Pradesh in the 1990s.
