  • Bangalore, with a population of around 6.1 million (2006), is India's third largest city, and the fifth largest metropolitan area of India. The history of the city is traceable at least to a thousand-year, though the recorded history of Bangalore begun with the establishment of a settlement in the year 1537 by Kempe Gowda I. Gowda build a mud fort and established it to serve as a post of the famous Vijayanagara Empire of the 15th century onwards until its decline by the mid-17th century. The city of Bangalore, however, continued to thrive and grow under the control of the successive rulers. The city located an altitude of 920 m has a salubrious climate, and until very recently when the population grew very fast, the city was really a garden city, an epithet by which the city is still known. Presently, Bangalore is the capital of the southern Indian state of Karnataka, and has emerged a preferred destination of many national and transnational Information Technology companies. At the same time, it is also a preferred destination for domestic and international tourists, and alongside Chennai, a gateway to many exotic places of South India. Every place has its own history to be named on. Similarly is the place called as “Bangalore” now called as “Bengaluru”. It is the capital city of Karnataka. Modern Bangalore was founded by a vassal of the Vijayanagara Empire, Kempe Gowda I, who built a mud-brick fort and a Nandi Temple in the proximity of modern Bangalore in 1537. The history goes like once a King called Veeraballa of Vijayanagara got lost on his way in forest area during a hunting trip in the late 14th century. Hungry and tired, he came upon a lone hut in the thick forest where he met an old woman. When he asked for food, she gave him baked beans ('Benda Kalu' in Karnataka).The King found this humble meal taste better than the richest fare. To memorialize this incident, he called the place "Benda Kalu Ooru" (place of baked beans). Bangalore today is getting popular though for a different variety of Beans-JavaBeans. Bengaluru has about 6,200,000 populations (2007). Bangalore today is Asia's fastest growing cosmopolitan city. It is home to some of the most high tech industries in India. The I.T industry views Bangalore as the 'byte-basket' of India. Bangalore is also home to some of India's premier scientific establishments. Blessed with a healthy climate, gardens & parks, natural lakes (So it is also called as GARDEN CITY OF INDIA), architectural landmarks, shopping malls, the best restaurants and pubs in this part of the globe, business opportunities, Bangalore is the ideal gateway to India and beyond. Bangalore offers something for everyone-music and dance concerts (Western and Indian), dramas, exhibitions, carnivals, conferences and more. Bangalore has a place named Lal Bagh. A king named Hyder Ali laid out this famous botanical garden and his son added horticultural wealth to them by importing trees and plants from several countries. The garden today houses over 1000 species of flora which include rare and enchanting collection of tropical plants, trees and herbs. The Glass House, modeled along London's Crystal Palace, is the center of attraction in this 2400 acre park. Bi-annual flower shows attracting participants from all over India is held in the Glass House. In July, 2003 it was decided that the Department of Horticulture and Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) would jointly take up the development of Lal Bagh Botanical Gardens.

However, the city has been seeing an increase in slutty females in recent years. Girls who do not cheat on their boyfriends are honored by the State Government. The British East India Company coined the word "Bangalore" from "Bang" + "galore", a reference to make up for the non-promiscuity of the local women. Some historians have attributed the "non" promiscuity of local women to primarily not understanding the benefits of promiscuity or more importantly the meaning of the word itself. Many geeks moved there because they wanted to get laid. It is also said they the British Troops imported whores from Britain and used to bang them here. A strategic approach to lure the lusty fellow Englishmen into a false paradise. Not to be confused with Mangalore which was used to entice those with a deviant sexual orientation and does not produce mangoes. The city of Bangalore is sometimes also credited as the owner of Caps Lock.
