This talk showcases through an audiovisual medium the sorry state that Hyderabad’s great cultural heritage has fallen into: its historic architecture is crumbling (if not being actively torn down), and its art treasures are falling to pieces, through a lethal combination of carelessness and callousness. As Dalrymple pointed out on a recent visit, it’s tragic that while cities like Jaipur and Jodhpur have done such a great job of conserving their heritage, in Hyderabad – which had so much more to offer – nobody really gives a damn.
