I spent sometime in England a decade back and used to live in a sub-urban london city..

Closer to the place, there was another town  which was the home to "Hyderabad Barracks", an army garrison before the world war-2 and during the Nizam era, the army from The State of Hyderabad used to come here and the English army used to visit The State in exchange...Nizam apparently funded the program in 1930's to improve military ties between two nations and raise a modern army then and present day Secunderabad la vunna barracks anni kuda a zamana lo kattinave anta...

Unfortunately this piece of history was no where to be found in Hyderabad but was recorded in England..

“Golconda, Illinois is not the only place to be inspired by Golconda, Deccan. There is another town in Humboldt County, Nevada, United States. This town of Golconda was founded in 1869. Discovery of copper, silver, gold, and lead brought entrepreneurs who opened mines and mills in the district,” said Haseeb Jafferi, a Heritage Buff who organises tours of Sufi Khwankhas under the banner of ‘Sufi Trails’.

The third place is a village located in the southern part of Trinidad. It was named after Golconda in the 19th Century. Presently, it is populated by mostly descendants of East Indians.

 

 

Most of the diamonds were cut and polished at Golconda and were found on its south-east at Kollur mine near Kollur, Guntur district, Paritala and Atkur in Krishna district in present day Andhra Pradesh during the Kakatiya reign. At that time, India had the only known diamond mines in the world.

Golconda was the market of the diamond trade, and gems sold here came from a number of mines. However, Europeans believed that the diamonds were found in the fortress-city itself. During the Renaissance and the early modern eras, the name Golconda acquired a legendary aura and became synonymous for vast wealth. “This was the reason that some residents of mining towns renamed them after Golconda,” said Mr Jafferi.

 

 

The mines brought riches to the Qutb Shahis who ruled Golconda up till 1687, then to the Nizams. The fort was built in the village Mankhyal, a name that still exists.

The Golconda fort was initially called Gul Kunda, meaning “cut like a flower” and also Golla Konda meaning “Shepherd’s Hill”. However, a myth took root that the place got its name because a shepherd used to graze his sheep there. “However, there is no record to prove this myth,” said historian Muhammad Safiullah. “The fort has a recorded history since 1184 AD; it was built by the Kakatiya rulers with mud. The fort later went to the Musunuri Nayakas, who ceded it to the Bahmanis in 1364. 

 

 

The Bahmanis were in control of the fort till 1518 AD when Sultan Quli Qutbul-Mulk was appointed governor of Telangana in 1496 and Golconda was made the headquarters. The Bahmanis were headquartered at Bidar.

In 1518, after being the provisional governor for 22 years, Sultan Quli declared himself independent and founded the Qutb Shahi dynasty.

“Incidentally, this is the 500th year of the foundation of the Qutb Shahi Dynasty and the Deccan Heritage Trust will be organising an International Seminar by the year-end,” said Dr Safiullah.

So its the name of the town in Illinois rather than Golconda fort ana ardam ...

You can check the list and as you can see, not very many are Agraharam batch. History of India was rewritten to suit political narratives starting with Nehru. Socialist/communist historians started distorting history to suit narrative. History always is a narrative and comes with an inherent bias. Just that India had a lot many apologists and whitewash ideologues that rewrote history to suit their tastes. Before you go on sidetracking the argument calling me a bhakt, let me tell you, I have zero affinity to Hindutva.
