BBC’s 2.13-minutes video documentary ‘A tale of two Indian tech cities‘, produced by Pamela Parker and Medhavi Arora, showed that startup companies have started choosing Hyderabad over Bangalore for variety of conducive reasons though Bangalore is popular for being the heart of India’s tech industry.

The documentary began with the narration, “Growing problems with congestion and infrastructure have pushed startups to look for new alternatives. Hyderabad is increasingly being named as the new city of choice, so how well does it rate against Bengaluru?”

It showed why StanPlus, a startup company running ambulances, chose Hyderabad over Bangalore, and the reason cited was ‘Bangalore has cumbersome transportation issue.’

Co-founder of StanPlus, Antoine Poirson said, “transportation is a big issue in Bengaluru, which removes some of the agile benefits of being a small competitor.”

“The ecosystem in Hyderabad is very vibrant and dynamic, while gridlocked traffic and inadequate infrastructure are affecting quality of life in Bangalore,” Poirson added.

Further, the documentary expounded about a global study that ranks Hyderabad three places over Bangalore in the list of world’s most influential cities in the future. In the meanwhile, Hyderabad has topped the list of best Indian cities three years in a row on the Quality of Living index, while Bengaluru was only third.

Masjid Charminar Ahle-Hadees located in Shivajinagar, Bangalore, which dates back to pre-independence India has projected a marvelous example of serving humanity amidst the surging communal debates and polarizing politics in the Indian society.

According to a special report of News-18, the donation collected from the worshippers every Friday is used to fund medical treatment of Hindu patients who have been frequenting and benefiting from the Masjid for the past few years.

Usha – a relative of a patient told the media about how the Masjid has been supporting her family through their thick and thin for the past one year.

Subramani – a kidney-failure patient explained his obstacles in getting the dialysis treatment done, and how he benefited through the Masjid funds.

A handicapped patient Anil Kumar – who runs an auto-rickshaw for his livelihood – also expressed gratitude towards the Masjid for monthly funding his dialysis treatment.

While addressing the media, Doctor Nasser Hussain – Rajya Sabha Member, said, “I was under a wrong impression that non-Muslims are not allowed in the Masjid, but this has cleared my misconception.”

He praised the efforts carried out by the Masjid committee.

L. Hanumantaya – Rajya Sabha Member was also present at the occasion. He was highly impressed by the efforts and praised it while addressing the local media.

Aijaz Ahmed Quraishi – committee member of Masjid Charminar, told, “all the funds we collect after Friday prayers are given to the poor and needy medical patients”.

Another member of the committee – Nawab Khan Quraishi said, “over 175 non-Muslim patients get benefited through our funds”.

Shaykh Abdul-Azeem Madani – Friday sermoner of the Masjid, said, “the role of a Masjid in Islamic Shariah law is very wide and vast. Masjid is not confined to only worship though it’s the toppest priority for its construction. Masjid is also a place to serve humanity irrespective of their religion, caste, color and race”.

“Prophet Mohammed – peace be upon him, built Masjid-e-Nabawi (in Madinah) to serve different aspects of a social soceity besides worshipping Allah Alone”, he added.
