== History of Habsiguda ==

The origin of the name Habsiguda may have originated from ''Habshi''{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}}, which was a common term referring to Africans although it relates to [[Ethiopian Empire|Abyssinia]], an ancient name for [[Ethiopia]] in Africa.<ref>Ababu Minda yimene [https://books.google.com/books?id=DigPvwHTqJ4C&pg=PA123&lpg=PA123 An African Indian community in Hyderabad: Siddi identity, its maintenance and change] Cuvillier Verlag, 2004,P.123.</ref> This barren land was a Cattle ground for [[Nizams]] of Deccan Princely State, and was probably the home of the African troops in Nizam's military{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}}. Abyssinians used to be brought as slaves and later as laborers by Nizams to take care of their cattle. Habeesis (people from Abyssinia) lived for decades in and around this area hence the name "Habeesguda" and now being called as Habsiguda.<ref>Ababu Minda yimene [https://books.google.com/books?id=DigPvwHTqJ4C&pg=PA124&lpg=PA124 An African Indian community in Hyderabad: Siddi identity, its maintenance, and change] Cuvillier Verlag, 2004 ,P.124.</ref> Today one can still find these Abyssinians in many parts of Old City and especially in "Barkaas". Many of these people were mixed with local people and accepted in all communities.

Later Habsiguda was occupied by many construction and plantation labourers that were brought from surrounding districts to construct [[Osmania University]] by [[Mir Osman Ali Khan|Mir Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah Vii]] (Last Nizam of Hyderabad Deccan).

Habsiguda remained as a hamlet under "Nacharam Village" until 1981 and later became an independent Grampanchayat under Uppal Kalan Municipality and now its part of Hyderabad Metropolitan City.
