'''Barkas''' is a neighborhood in [[Hyderabad, India]], located in the old city area of Hyderabad. The name "Barkas" is believed to be derived from the English word "[[barracks]]". Before Indian independence, Barkas served as the military [[Barracks]] of the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]].

The Chaush were brought from Yemen to work in the former [[Hyderabad State]] as military men for the [[Nizam]]s.
