More about Bangalore
However, since local entrepreneurs and technology giant Texas
Instruments discovered its potential as a high-tech city in the
early 1980's, Bangalore has seen a major technology boom and is
now home to more than 250 high-tech companies, including
homegrown giants like Wipro and Infosys. The erstwhile garden
city has now been pegged the 'Silicon Valley' of India.
To give you a little background, Bangalore was founded by Kempe
Gowda in the early 16th century. Two centuries later, it became
an important fortress city under rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu
Sultan. The ruins of those periods can still be seen on the
Bellary Road, at Lal Bagh, Ulsoor and Gavi Gangadhareswar
Temple.
The people in the city are warm, hospitable and friendly.
Bangalore is generally regarded as a place that most visitors
like to chill out in. Not to say that it has nothing for the
people interested in history. Along with the modern day pubs,
discos and hangouts, one can still see remnants of the older
Bangalore. All in all, a lovely city to visit.
