People Who Define Bangalore

By Mr. Narendra KV

"People Who Define Bangalore" is a part of the "Bangalore History" series.

This book is a celebration of people who ruled and contributed to the city since its establishment by Kempe Gowda in 1537. This book narrates stories and anecdotes which reinforces innovation, thrift, ethics and solidity that defines the metropolis even today.

Bangalore was Kempe Gowda's "Grand Idea". He wanted his capital to replicate the most prosperous and largest city of his time. Like a traditional startup, the idea had little resources driving the execution. Three generations of Kempe Gowda built an enviable and viable city through constant innovation. The successive Maratha, Wodeyar, Hyder Ali, Tipu Sultan and British rulers reinforced that character of the city. It remains true to its DNA and remains a center of innovation, thrift engineering and agility even today. It is the third prosperous city in India today.

This book is not a dreary book about wars and killings. It is a celebration of people who made the city over the last 5 centuries. It shows the character and caliber of people who made the city.

This book not just covers the rulers and administrators, but also has stories about savants, judges, artists, cricketers and others who made the city what it is today.
