The capital of Karnataka state, Bangalore is a thriving modern business center, dubbed the 'Silicon Valley' of India, whose gracious garrison town features are being remodelled in the image of India's mall-loving middle class. Bangalore is also known as the Garden City of India because of its climate, greenery and the presence of many public parks, including the Lal Bagh and Cubbon Park. Bangalore likes to think it's more in tune with Mumbai and Manhattan rather than the rest of Karnataka, and has been scathingly described as a city 'in search of a soul'. The pace of
life in Bangalore, like the intellectual and political climate, is
brisk. Bangalore is also regarded as one of India's most progressive
and liberal cities, as far as social attitudes go. |
