    Comprehensive Traffic & Transportation Plan for Bangalore Chapter 1 - Introduction CHAPTER ––– 1 INTRODUCTION 1.11.11.1 GENERAL BACKGROUND 1.1.1 Bangalore is the fifth largest metropolis (6.5 m in 2004) in India and is one of the fastest growing cities in Asia. It is also the capital of State of Karnataka. The name Bangalore is an anglicised version of the city's name in the Kannada language, Bengaluru. It is globally recognized as IT capital of India and also as a well developed industrial city. 1.1.2 Bangalore city was built in 1537 by Kempegowda. During the British Raj, Bangalore developed as a centre for colonial rule in South India. The establishment of the Bangalore Cantonment brought in large numbers of migrant Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh and North Indian workers for developing and maintaining the infrastructure of the cantonment. New extensions were added to the old town by creating Chamarajpet, Seshadripuram, Nagasandra, Yediyur, Basavanagudi, Malleswaram, Kalasipalyam and Gandhinagar upto 1931. During the post independence period Kumara Park and Jayanagar came into existence. The cantonment area covers nearly dozen revenue villages, which included Binnamangala, Domlur, Neelasandra and Ulsoor to name a few. In 1960, at Binnamangala, new extension named Indiranagar was created. The defence establishments and residential complexes are in part of the core area. It is a radial pattern city growing in all directions. The Bangalore city which was 28.85 sq. Km. in 1901 increased to 174.7 sqkm in 1971 to 272 sqkm in 1986 and presently it has expanded to nearly 437 sqkm.

  • Urban Water Supply: Contestations and Sustainability Issues in Greater Bangalore
    Journal of Politics & Governance, Vol. 3, No. 4, October-December 2014 Urban Water Supply: Contestations and Sustainability Issues in Greater Bangalore Srihari Hulikal Muralidhar Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai Abstract The move towards privatization of public utilities such as water sector in India, particularly in the metropolitan areas, has gone hand in hand with the growing gap between demand and supply of water. With fiscal discipline being the key mantra of successive governments, cost recovery as a policy goal is prioritized over access to water and sanitation. This paper is a critical assessment of Greater Bangalore Water and Sanitation Project (GBWASP), which aims to provide piped water to more than twenty lakh residents in Greater Bangalore. The implementation of the Karnataka Groundwater Act, 2011, and the debates around it are also examined in detail. The four main arguments are: huge gap between rhetoric and ground realities when it comes to the implementation of GBWASP and the Groundwater Act; the contestations between the elected representatives and bureaucrats have implications for urban governance; the axes of dispute between the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board and citizens have changed over time; the politics of negotiating access to water also bring questions of sustainability to the fore. Keywords: Borewell, Privatization, Water [This paper was presented at the 2nd National Conference on Politics & Governance, NCPG 2014 held at India International Centre Annexe, New Delhi on 3 August 2014] Introduction The Greater Bangalore Water and Sanitation Project (GBWASP) was launched in 2003 in Bangalore and is implemented by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB).

  • Megastar: Chiranjeevi and Telugu Cinema After NT Ramo
    1 Whistling Fans and Conditional Loyalty hat can cinema tell us about the politics of our time? There can of Wcourse be little doubt that studies of the cinema, from Siegfried Kracauer's magnum opus on German cinema (2004) to M.S.S. Pandian's (1992) study of MGR, have attempted to answer precisely this question. The obscene intimacy between film and politics in southern India provides an opportunity for students of cinema to ask the question in a manner that those in the business of studying politics would have to take seriously. This chapter argues that this intimacy has much to do with the fan-star relationship. Chiranjeevi's career foregrounds the manner in which this relationship becomes one of the important distinguishing features of Telugu cinema, as also a key constituent of the blockage that it encounters.
