Chanchalguda Central Jail

Chanchalguda Central Jail, located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, is one of the oldest jails in the country. The jail is in the old city of Hyderabad at Chanchalguda. It was constructed during the reign of the Nizam of the Hyderabad State, and remains operational today. The jail has an official capacity of 1000 inmates, but is said to be overcrowded, with inmate numbers having recently come to exceed 1,600. An average of 40 new inmates arrive at the jail daily. In 2012, renovations began to update the amenities and expand the occupancy of the jail. Following the introduction of an adult literacy programme, Chanchalguda Central Jail reported a 100% literacy rate from 1989 to 1990. History Chanchalguda Central Jail was founded in 1876 under the Nizam of Hyderabad, with British oversight, to serve as a key prison in the princely state. Hyderabad, a major center under Asaf Jahi rule, needed a secure facility for political dissenters and criminals, and the jail was built in Chanchalguda, then a quieter suburb. Its construction came amid British efforts to standardize prison systems across India, influenced by the 1838 Prison Discipline Committee's push for reform. The jail's early role was grim, it held freedom fighters opposing British and Nizam rule, including activists from the 1930s Telangana Rebellion. After India's independence in 1947 and Hyderabad's integration in 1948, the jail transitioned to state control, becoming a central facility in Andhra Pradesh and later Telangana. Economics A petrol pump staffed by inmates is located adjoining the jail. The annual turnover of the petrol pump is over ₹100 crore as of 2017. Apart from this, there is also a restaurant staffed by inmates and a store which sells handloom products made by the inmates, including bedsheets and towels. Notable Inmates The jail has housed significant figures: Freedom Fighters: During the 1930s–1940s, it held Telangana Rebellion activists opposing Nizam rule, including leaders like Doddi Komaraiah. Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy: The YSR Congress Party leader was detained in 2012–2013 on corruption charges, drawing media attention. MIM Leaders: In 2012, MLAs Akbaruddin and Asaduddin Owaisi faced brief detention over protest-related charges.

Chepauk Palace

Het Chepauk Palace is een paleis in de gelijknamige wijk in de Indiase stad Chennai. Het was de officiële residentie van de nawab van Arcot. Het werd opgeleverd in 1768 en is gebouwd in Indo-Islamitische en Indisch-saraceense architectuur. Het was destijds een van de eerste bouwwerken in Indisch-saraceense architectuur.
Дворец Чепаук

Дворец Чепаук (англ. Chepauk Palace) — официальная резиденция наваба индийского княжества Аркот с 1768 по 1855 год. Дворец расположен в районе Чепаук города Ченнаи, Индия и построен в индо-сарацинском архитектурном стиле. Является архитектурным и историческим символом района Чепаук, а также достопримечательностью Ченнаи. История В конце Карнатикских войн королевство Карнаты, до этого независимое, попало под протекторат Ост-Индской компании Британии. Наваб Мухаммед Али Хан Валая был близким другом и союзником британцев и был зависим от войск компании ради своей защиты. В итоге, в 1764 году он решил построить для себя дворец за пределами форта Святого Джорджа. Однако, ввиду нехватки места, он вынужден был оставить свои планы и, вместо этого, построил дворец в Чепауке, за несколько миль на юг от форта. В 1840-х Дворец Чепаук стал центром проведения спортивных турниров Мадраса. Здесь проходили турниры по сквошу, крикету, теннису, хоккею на траве и другим видам спорта. Здесь же и находился Крикетный клуб Мадраса (Madras Cricket Club). Когда княжество Карнаты было упразднено в 1855 году, по доктрине Лапсе, дворец Чепаук был выставлен на аукцион, чтобы оплатить долги Наваба и, в конце концов, был приобретён правительством Мадраса (ныне Ченнаи). Во дворце располагались офис для Департамента по государственным доходам и сборам (The office of the revenue board), а также Секретариат департамента государственных работ (The Public Works Department (PWD) Secretariat). В 1871 году Роберт Чисхолм построил новое здание государственного архива и департамента по государственным прибылям и доходам. Дворец Чепаук является частью комплекса Ezhilagam, где размещены правительственные учреждения. Из-за пренебрежительного отношения к памятнику архитектуры, а также разрушающихся стен дворца его прозвали «зданием нестабильной конструкции» (structurally unstable). Сейчас дворец является историческим и архитектурным памятником Индии. Архитектура Дворец Чепаук состоит из двух частей — северная сторона известна, как Калса Махал, в то время, как южная сторона известна, как Хумаюн Махал. Дворец построен на территории в 177 акров и окружён стеной. Галерея Примечания
Палац Чепаук

Палац Чепаук (англ. Chepauk Palace) — колишня офіційна резиденція наваба Аркоти з 1768 по 1855 роки. Палац розташований на околиці міста Чепаук, штат Ченнаї, Індія та збудований в індо-сарацинському архітектурному стилі. Є архітектурним та історичним символом міста Чепаук, а також історичною пам'яткою штату Ченнаї. Історія Наприкінці Карнатських війн, попередньо незалежне королівство Карнати, стало під протекторат Ост-Індійської компанії Британії. Наваб, Мухаммед Алі Хан Валая був близьким другом і союзником британців та залежав від військ компанії задля свого захисту. Так, у 1764 році він надумав побудувати для себе палац за валами форту Святого Джорджа. Однак, через обмеженість місця, Валая був змушений відмовитись від своїх планів і, замість цього, збудував палац у місті Чепаук, за кілька миль на південь від форту. У 1840-х Палац Чепаук став центром проведення спортивних турнірів Мадраса. Тут проходили турніри зі сквошу, крикету, тенісу, хокею на траві та інших видів спорту. Тут же і знаходився Крикетний клуб Макдраса (Madras Cricket Club). Коли князівством Карнати перестало існувати у 1855 році, за доктриною Лапсе, палац Чепаук був виставлений на аукціон, щоб оплатити борги Наваби та, зрештою, був придбаний урядом Мадрасу. Палац слугував офісом Департаменту по державним прибуткам і зборам (The office of the revenue board) та Секретаріату департаменту громадських робіт (The Public Works Department (PWD) Secretariat). У 1871 році Роберт Чісхолм побудував нову будівлю державного архіву та департаменту по державним прибуткам. Палац Чепаук є частиною комплексу Ezhilagam, де розміщені урядові установи. Через зневажливе ставлення до пам'ятки архітектури, а також зруйновані стіни палацу його прозвали «будівлею нестабільної конструкції» (structurally unstable). Зараз палац є історичною та архітектурною пам'яткою Індії. Архітектура Палац Чепаук складається з двох частин — північна частина відома, як Калса Махал, в той час, як південна частина відома, як Хумаюн Махал. Палац побудований на території у 117 акрів та оточений стіною. Галерея Див. також Ченнаї Примітки
