Bangalore (Kannada: ಬೆಂಗಳೂರà³; pronounced /'beÅ‹gaÉuËru/ in Kannada and /'bæŋgÉ™lÉ”Ë(ɹ)/ in English) is the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka. Bangalore is located on the Mysore Plateau in Southwestern Karnataka. With an estimated metropolitan population of 6.1 million (2006), it is India's third largest city and fifth largest metropolitan area. Though historical references to the city predate 900 CE, a modern written history of continuous settlement exists only from 1537, when Kempe Gowda I, who many regard as the architect of modern Bangalore, built a mud fort in the city and established it as a province of the imperial Vijayanagara Empire. On December 11, 2005, the Government of Karnataka announced that it had accepted Jnanpith awardee U R Ananthamurthy's suggestion to rename Bangalore to its Kannada name, BengalÅ«ru. The new name was expected to become effective from 1 November 2006 [1]. However, due to changes in the administration of the state government, it is unclear whether the proprosed name change will be implemented [2].
During the British Raj, Bangalore developed as a centre for colonial rule in South India. The establishment of the Bangalore Cantonment brought in large numbers of migrant Tamil, Telugu and North Indian workers to help service the development of infrastructure in the cantonment [3]. The city's temperate climate, which is milder than the those of other cities in the country, has been a major attraction to people from other parts of India. After India gained independence in 1947, Bangalore evolved into a manufacturing hub for public sector heavy industries — prominently aerospace, space and defence industries. The establishment and success of high technology firms in Bangalore after the liberalisation of India's economy has led to the growth of India's information technology (IT) industry. Bangalore is referred to as the Silicon Valley of India and accounts for 35% of India's software exports [4]. Home to prestigious colleges and research institutions, the city has the second-highest literacy rate in the nation. However, as a large and growing metropolis in the developing world Bangalore continues to struggle with problems such as air pollution, traffic congestion, and crime |
