The
Kohinoors
The people who shaped Hyderabad. The stories that deserve to be remembered.
Some cities are remembered by their monuments. Hyderabad is also remembered by its people.
The Kohinoors is a first-of-its-kind coffee-table book celebrating distinguished personalities whose work, vision and lives have left an enduring mark on Hyderabad and beyond.
Authored by journalist, author and filmmaker Syed Khaled Shahbaaz, the project was conceived to document remarkable lives with the dignity, visual richness and permanence they deserve.
A portrait of
Hyderabad.
Published by Media Plus and GAWAH Urdu Weekly during the organisations’ Silver Jubilee year, Volume I brings together stories and portraits of people who have contributed to the city’s cultural, social, professional and public life.
