  • Bangalore (Or ???????? Bengaluru, ['Be?G??U??U] ( Listen)) Is the Capital City O F the Indian State of Karnataka
    Bangalore (or ???????? Bengaluru, ['be?g??u??u] ( listen)) is the capital city o f the Indian state of Karnataka. Located on the Deccan Plateau in the south-east ern part of Karnataka. Bangalore is India's third most populous city and fifth-m ost populous urban agglomeration. Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of In dia because of its position as nation's leading Information technology (IT) expo rter.[7][8][9] Located at a height of over 3,000 feet (914.4 m) above sea level, Bangalore is known for its pleasant climate throughout the year.[10] The city i s amongst the top ten preferred entrepreneurial locations in the world.[11] A succession of South Indian dynasties, the Western Gangas, the Cholas, and the Hoysalas ruled the present region of Bangalore until in 1537 CE, Kempé Gowda a feu datory ruler under the Vijayanagara Empire established a mud fort considered to be the foundation of modern Bangalore. Following transitory occupation by the Ma rathas and Mughals, the city remained under the Mysore Kingdom. It later passed into the hands of Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, and was captured by the Bri tish after victory in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799), who returned administr ative control of the city to the Maharaja of Mysore. The old city developed in t he dominions of the Maharaja of Mysore, and was made capital of the Princely Sta te of Mysore, which existed as a nominally sovereign entity of the British Raj. In 1809, the British shifted their cantonment to Bangalore, outside the old city , and a town grew up around it, which was governed as part of British India.

  • Women Workers in Garments Factories in Karnataka: Issues and Challenges * Dr
    International Journal of Innovative Studies in Sociology and Humanities (IJISSH) ISSN 2456-4931 (Online) www.ijissh.org Volume: 3 Issue: 10 | October 2018 Women Workers in Garments Factories in Karnataka: Issues and Challenges * Dr. SURESHA. K P Asst. Professor, Department of Studies and Research in Economics, Akkamahadevi Women’s University, Torvi, Vijayapura 586105, Karnataka Abstract: India is the world’s second largest producer of textiles and garments after China. It is the world’s third largest producer of cotton after China and the USA and the second largest cotton consumer after China. The Indian textile industry is as diverse and complex as country itself and it combines with equal equanimity this immense diversity into a cohesive whole. India’s garment industry has been rapidly growing in the last few years. It contributes substantially to India’s export earnings and it is estimated that one out of every six households in the country depends on this sector, either directly or indirectly, for its livelihood. The growth of the garment sector however, is not going hand in hand with an improvement in the working conditions of the garment workers The garment industry contributes 16.63% to the foreign earnings of India and it employs over 3.5 million workers. There are five different garment production hubs in India; all specialize in different types of garment production. Bangalore is one of the centers of production of garment and has somewhere around 1200 big, small and medium sized garment factories. A review of garment industries revealed that, it is one of the largest manufacturing sectors in India Keywords: Women Worker Garments Factorie S Karnataka 1.

  • The Sedimentation of Cultural Space: Stratification Patterns of Mumbai and Bangalore
    Intercultural Communication Studies XVII: 1 2008 D’Silva & St. Clair The Sedimentation of Cultural Space: Stratification Patterns of Mumbai and Bangalore Margaret U. D’Silva & Robert N. St. Clair University of Louisville Modernizing processes in cities are shaped by past events which produce very different cultural spaces. Using the sedimentation theory of cultural space, the modernization of two cities in India, Mumbai and Bangalore, is examined here. The authors argue that the cultural past of the two cities makes them culturally different entities. Within national cultures, not all cities are modernized in the same way. There are different forces from the past that interact with the processes of modernization to create very different cultural spaces. For example, in India the modern city of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) has undergone similar processes of modernization as the city of Bangalore (currently being renamed as Bengaluru), but they remain culturally different entities and these differences can be attributed to the differences in their cultural past. This is because the cultural present is embedded in the cultural past, and the present forces of modernization must not only be embedded in the cultural spaces of the past but they must also be integrated into its archeological strata. To explain this phenomenon, a different model of cultural space has been proposed. The sedimentation theory of cultural space is such a model (St. Clair, 2007). It is based on the metaphor of the “Archeology of Knowledge” in which Foucault (1969) envisions knowledge as layers of human activity deposited in a cultural space over time. A modification and expansion of this metaphor can be found in the sedimentation theory of cultural space, which not only envisions time as the accumulation of social practices layered in cultural space, but also provides epistemological mechanisms that explain how reality is socially reconstructed within a cultural space.

Urban Planning in Vernacular Governance Land use Planning and violations in Bangalore, India1 Dr. Jayaraj Sundaresan Fellow in Human Geography, LSE Draft. The final published version is available in Progress in Planning Journal Abstract This paper examines the relationship between urban planning practice and planning violations in Bangalore. Through ethnography of the practice of planning networks, It demonstrates that the domain of urban planning in Bangalore is shaped by the ethos and practices of mutually contesting Public and Private interest associational networks working to achieve Public and Private interest outcomes respectively. This is demonstrated using ho w private interest networks shape planning through plan violations and planning for violations as well as how public interest networks shape planning through multiple political, legal and administrative interventions, both of which together prevents the formation of any ideal typical planning system for a Comprehensive Master Planning Regime.

This thesis examines venture finance in detail and looks at the case of Singapore repositioning itself as the center of venture finance in this regard. First we understand the advantages of innovation and venture capital value proposition. We think about a general background to the world of venture finance and entrepreneurship. Then we develop a comprehensive venture-capitalists' framework. After this, we look at Bangalore and Glasgow, 2 striking examples of cities that reinvented themselves.
