Bangalore
is the capital of the state of Karnataka in India. Located in the
south eastern part of the state, Bangalore has a estimated population
of 6.5million, making it India's third most populous city.
Though historical references predate AD 900 written history dates
back to 1537 when Kempegowda built a mud fort and is considered the
architect of modern Bangalore. During the British Raj, Bangalore developed
as a centre for colonial rule in South India.
After India gained independence in 1947, Bangalore evolved into a
manufacturing hub for public sector heavy industries. Particular mention
must be made of aerospace, tele-communication, machine tools, heavy
equipment and defence. With the liberalization
of the Indian economy Bangalore powered the information technology
boom to earn the sobriquet of the 'Silicon Valley of India'. It
promises to do the same with bio-technology. It is home to many
prestigious professional and research institutions.
However, as a rapidly growing metropolis we battle our share of
developmental issues of which traffic congestion receives top priority.
Steeped in history Karnataka boasts a rich heritage of art and architecture.
It is famous for its silks, sandalwood, spices and handicrafts.
Here the traditional and the modern merge seamlessly.
Welcome to the cool and salubrious
climate of Bangalore in November!
