Habsiguda
Habsiguda is a A planned locality in the eastern Hyderabad, Habsiguda is situated
off the Habshiguda Main Road. Originally it was called ‘Habeesguda’ or ‘Abeesguda’.
The name Habeesguda originated from ‘Abyssinia’, which is an ancient name of Ethiopia.
The place was a cattle ground of Nizams. Abyssinians (people of Abyssinia) used
to be brought as slaves and labourers by Nizams for taking care of their cattle.

of Osmania University. Habsiguda remained a hamlet untill 1981 under Nacharam Village.
