			Bangalore 
  
						
						 Bangalore is India's third most populous city and fifth most populous urban agglomeration. Though historical references to the city predate 900 CE, a modern history of continuous settlement exists only from 1537, when Kempe Gowda I built a mud-brick fort at the site and established it as a province of the Vijayanagara Empire. 
			 
			   
			Today, as a large and 
			growing metropolis, Bangalore is a home to some of the most 
			well-recognized colleges and research institutions. Numerous public 
			sector heavy industries, software companies, aerospace, 
			telecommunications, and defense organizations are located in the 
			city. Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of India because of 
			its preeminent position as the nation's leading IT employer and 
			exporter. A demographically diverse city, Bangalore is a major 
			economic hub and the fastest growing major metropolis in India.   |
