> Hyderabad existed as a politically and culturally separate entity The only culturally separate population I know of on earth anymore are the Sentinelese on the Andaman and Nicobar islands. Hyderabad's name itself is Arabic+Persian, and compared to India overall, far more people speak English there. It was a regional capital of South Asia. Cosmopolitan places like that are always cultural crossroads. Practically everyone/everyplace is a mutt, culturally and biologically, the world over, except perhaps the Sentinelese.
