- W2576679847 abstract "Book Reviews OLD Cmes, New PREDICAMENTSI A Study of Hyderabad. By Rama Naidu. Newbury Park (Calzfomia): Sage Publications, Inc. 1990. I 7 7 pp. (Maps, tables.) USI27. 50, cloth. ISBN 0-8039-9658-6. THIS BOOK is an excellent and highly significant study of the old walled city of Hyderabad, India. Hyderabad has been the scene of rising communal violence in recent years, and this study focusses upon the Muslim/ Hindu displacements in the densely populated old city after its incorporation into newly independent India in 1948. Formerly capital of Hyderabad State, ruled by the Nizam and a largely Muslim nobility, Hyderabad is now the capital of the Teluga-speaking state of Andhra Pradesh. Naidu masterful- ly shows the ways in which urban decay, demography, and politics have become intertwined. One cannot do justice to this impressive book in a brief review, but let me try. Methodologically, the research is both meticulous and exhaustive. Naidu and her team of some thirty people conducted a systematic random sample of households in the four wards of the inner (formerly walled) city: they divided the almost 241,000 (in 1981) inhabitants into three groups of enumerator blocks (from the census/ electoral rolls) according to the popu- lation of Hindus and Muslims residing in each block. They also used secon- dary data from numerous municipal offices and conducted a survey of mosques and temples, and they made extensive use of historical resources such as past local census records and a detailed 1911 municipal map. The result is detailed documentation of current socioeconomic attributes of the residents and of historical patterns of caste and religious communities and religious institutions in the walled city. Naidu explains the institutionalization of communal politics by the rising number of mosques and temples, the expanded and increasingly aggres- sive religious processions, and, most of all, several recent delimitations of constituency boundaries in the old city that have polarized electorates into near-equal communal halves. She makes urgent policy recommendations aimed at the restoration of the old city as a healthy environment in every way for its residents. There are three excellent maps packed with informa- tion; while the footnotes are printed at the bottom of the pages, there is no bibliography. This is a must-read book for South Asianists and com- parativists from many disciplines. University (J C'alg'fornia, Irvine, U. S.A. KAREN LEONARD TWENFY MxLuoN CHINESE MADE IN TAIWAN.
