“Hyderabad is the premier native state of India, having twice the population of any other of the six hundred odd native states, and is to India what Bavaria is to the German Empire. Its capital, too, the fourth city in population in India, has about the same number (448,000) of inhabitants as Munich.” (Eustace Alfred Reynolds-Ball, The Tourist's India, 1907, p. 418).
