HYDERABAD: Nowhere have the Muslims felt more at home in India than in Hyderabad. This is not just because of sheer numbers - 40 per cent of the city's population is Muslim (around 27 per cent in Greater Hyderabad) - but also because a culture that is a synthesis of local and traditions derived from Islam dominates the region. But in the aftermath of the integration of Hyderabad into India it was not like this. The years that followed 1948 were years of confused identity for the Hyderabadi Muslim. Many migrated to Pakistan, other affluent sections to UK, USA and even Canada.
