 BANGLORE HISTORY

• Story behind Name Bangalore The term 'Bangalore' is an

anglicized version of "Bengalooru," a Kannad term. The word
Bengalooru was in turn derived from the phrase 'bende kaalu
ooru', meaning 'the town of boiled beans'. The story behind
naming the city as the 'town of boiled beans' is said Once a
hunting expedition King Ballala of the Hoysala dynasty lost his
way in the jungle. Deep inside the jungle, lived an old woman
who took pity on the hungry and tired hunter. The old woman Kempe Gowda Bangalore Fort in 1860 showing fortifications and barracks. The
was poor and had nothing else to offer but boiled beans. But the fort was originally built by Kempe Gowda I as a mud fort in 153
king was so pleased with her hospitality that he named the entire
city as bele-benda-kalu-ooru, CLIMATE
• Founder of Bangalore - Kempe Gowda In 1537, Kempe Gowda Bangalore has a tropical savanna climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. Due to its high elevation,
(under a provision given by Krishnadevaraya), he marks the four Bangalore usually enjoys a more moderate climate throughout the year, although occasional heat
corners of the city whom many treat as the architect of modern waves can make summer somewhat uncomfortable
Bangalore, built a mud fort in the city and with the help of King
Achutaraya, built the little towns of Cottonpet, Balepet and
Chickpet, all inside the fort. Today, these little areas serve as the
major wholesale and commercial market places in the city. He
established it as a province of the Vijayanagara Empire. During
the Vijayanagara rule, Bangalore was also referred to as
"Devarāyanagara" and "Kalyānapura" ("Auspicious City").

• Rule of the Sultans, Marathas and British Bangalore's rule changed hands several times after the fall of
the Vijayanagara Empire. Bangalore was given to Shahaji in 1638, as a jagir by Bijapur army. Later the
Mughal general Kasim Khan defeated Ekoji I, son of Shahaji, and then sold Bangalore
to Chikkadevaraja Wodeyar of Mysore for 300,000 rupees. After the death of Krishnaraja Wodeyar II in
1759, Hyder Ali, Commander-in-Chief of the Mysore Army, proclaimed himself the de facto ruler
of Mysore. The kingdom later passed to Hyder Ali's son Tippu Sultan, known as the Tiger of
Mysore. Tippu Sultan was defeated by British Indian Empire in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799).
British took control of the Mysore Kingdom and, possibly influenced by the city's salubrious climate,
moved the administrative capital to Bengaluru. During the British Raj, Bangalore developed as
a centre for colonial rule in South India. The first train was flagged out of the city in 1859. And the
lovely Cubbon Park was built by Sankey in 1864. The establishment of the Bangalore Cantonment
brought in large numbers of migrants from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and North India for developing
and maintaining the infrastructure of the cantonment.
• Bangalore after Independence After India gained independence in 1947, Bangalore evolved into a
manufacturing hub for public sector heavy industries—particularly aerospace, telecommunications,
machine tools, heavy equipment, space and defense. The establishment and success of software
service firms in Bangalore after the liberalisation of Indias economy has led to the growth
of Indias information technology industry. Bangalore is referred to as the Silicon Valley of India and
accounts for one third percent of India’s software exports. Home to prestigious colleges and research
institutions, the city has the second-highest literacy rate among the metropolitan cities in the nation.
