History
The Urdu language from Delhi was introduced in the Deccan region during Alauddin Khilji invasion in between 1295 AD to 1316 Ad. It became more popular in deccan during and after Muhammad bin Tughluq shifted the Sultanate capital from Delhi and made the kingdom capital to the city of Daulatabad in 1327 AD. Revolting against the Sultanate was formed Bahmani Sultanate in 1347 AD making Daulatabad as its sultanate capital which was later shifted to Gulbargah and in 1430 the capital atlast moved to Bidar, Bahmani Sultanate existed for around 150 years, and expanded almost into the entire South India (which was then named as Deccan). All these circumstances of shifting of power, moving of capitals and expansion of sultanate created a growing atmosphere for the Urdu language of Delhi, which was then came to be known as Deccani and received patronage from its rulers, though it was known with other names such as Hinduastani, Zaban Hinduastani, Dehalvi and Hindawi. The sufi's during those periods were the earliest to use Deccani in written form. The earliest available manuscript record is Kadam Rao Padam Rao a Masnavi of Fakhruddin Nizami, written during 1421-1434 AD. When Bahmani Sultanate split (1483–1518) into five new kingdoms Deccani gained a de facto court language status and it was widely written and popularized by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah and Ibrahim Adil Shah II, were great patron of regional literature, arts and culture.
When Mughals took over Deccan many notable personalities, secular and religious settled in the Deccan, have caused the language to spread through the borders that now form parts of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. One such poet of Mughal region was Wali Deccani (1667–1707), the first established poet to have composed Ghazals and compiled a divan (a collection of ghazals where the entire alphabet is used at least once as the last letter to define the rhyme pattern). When Nizams declared suzerainty over Deccan Suba in 1724 AD, Deccani was apparently benefited literary growth by creating more centres of patronage and economic development, in 1883 Urdu Language of Deccan was declared as state Language and remained until Nizams came to an end in 1948 AD.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
