HYDERABAD

Hyderabad is the third largest city of Pakistan, at present and its history goes back to pre-Islamic times, when Ganjo Taka (barren hill), a nearby hilly tract, was used as a place of worship. Hyderabad became the capital of Sindh when the Indus changed its course from Khudaabad in the time of the Kalhora rulers. Hyderabad was previously known as Neroonkot, ‘Fort of Neroon’. The fort was in possession of the Buddhists at the time of the conquest of Sindh by Mohammad Bin Qasim in 712 A.D. In the 16th and 17th centuries it continued only as the district headquarters. The tomb of Mian Shah Kalhora, the founder of Hyderabad, is one of the most important monuments of the city which was constructed in 1772 A.D.
