Hyderabad, Jan 8 (Ians) Madrasa-i-Aliya, the alma mater of the nobility of Hyderabad and which later churned out cricketers like Ghulam Ahmed, Asif Iqbal, Abbas Ali Baig, Mohammed Azharuddin and former Indian football captain Shabbir Ali, has completed 150 years.
Azharuddin, Shabbir Ali and other eminent alumni of the institution gathered for a reunion.
Nearly 250 alumni of Madrasa-i-Aliya, now known as Aliya Government School, came for an evening of nostalgia.
Established in 1872 by the Sixth Nizam Nawab Mir Mehboob Ali Khan, the institution’s sesquicentennial celebrations took place at the 138-year old Nizam Club, another historic institution of the Nizam era.
The reunion event was organized by a group of Aliyans whose efforts brought together students from the 1949 batch to the 1980s. Many Aliyans were posthumously remembered on the occasion.
The alumni revisited the remarkable history and legacy of the institution in a short documentary produced by Media Plus Foundation.
