Bangalore, India
Center of India's High-Tech Industry!
Bangalore is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Karnataka. It has a population of more than 8 million and a metropolitan
population of around 11 million, making it the third most populous city and fifth most populous urban agglomeration in India, as well
as the largest city in South India, and the 27th largest city in the world. Located on the Deccan Plateau, at a height of over
900 m (3,000 ft) above sea level, Bangalore has a pleasant climate throughout the year. Its elevation is the highest among the major
cities of India. Bangalore is widely regarded as the "Silicon Valley of India" because of its role as the nation's leading information
technology (IT) exporter.
The city's history dates back to around 890 CE, as found in a stone inscription found at the Nageshwara Temple in Begur, Bangalore.
In 1537 CE, Kempé Gowda – a feudal ruler under the Vijayanagara Empire – established a mud fort, considered the foundation of modern
Bangalore and its oldest areas, or petes, which still exist. After the fall of the Vijayanagar empire, Kempe Gowda declared independence;
in 1638, a large Adil Shahi Bijapur army defeated Kempe Gowda III, and Bangalore was given to them as a jagir (feudal estate).The Mughals
later captured Bangalore and sold it to Chikkadevaraja Wodeyar (1673–1704), the then ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore. When Haider
Ali seized control of the Kingdom of Mysore, the administration of Bangalore passed into his hands.
The city was captured by the British East India Company after victory in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799), who returned administrative
control of the city to the Maharaja of Mysore. The old city developed under the dominions of the Maharaja of Mysore and was made capital
of the Princely State of Mysore, which existed as a nominally sovereign entity of the British Raj. In 1809, the British shifted their cantonment
to Bangalore, outside the old city, and a town grew up around it, governed as part of British India. Following India's independence in 1947,
Bangalore became the capital of Mysore State, and remained the capital when the new Indian state of Karnataka was formed in 1956.
The two urban settlements of Bangalore – city and cantonment – which had developed as independent entities merged into a single urban
centre in 1949. The existing Kannada name, Bengaluru, was declared the city's official name in 2006.
