  • Battles for Bangalore: Reterritorialising the City Janaki Nair Centre for the Study of Culture and Society Bangalore, India
    Battles for Bangalore: Reterritorialising the City Janaki Nair Centre for the Study of Culture and Society Bangalore, India A divided city, cleaved by a swathe of parkland and administrative buildings that runs from north west to south east, was united in the single Bangalore City Corporation in 1949.1 No longer did the Bangalore Civil and Military station (referred to as the Cantonment, and the location since 1809 of British troops and their followers), have a separate administration from the old city area. And not just a geographical unity was forged, since the maps of linguistic, cultural and political traditions were redrawn. A previous move to unite the Cantonment, then under the control of the British Resident, with the rest of Princely Mysore was resisted by several cultural and economic groups that had long resided in the Station and enjoyed the perquisites of serving the colonial masters.2 A flurry of petitions protested the proposed "retrocession" of 1935 which would bring the Bangalore Cantonment under the Mysore administration; only the war delayed this move until July 1947.3 By 1949, such petitions were no deterrent to the plans of the new masters. But in the five decades since the formation of the Bangalore corporation, the city's east-west zonation continues to persist, and the uncomfortable question of "independence"4, or at least administrative freedom of the erstwhile cantonment has often been reiterated5. Most frequently, this has been in response to emerging cultural and political movements that seek to reterritorialise the city, refashioning its symbols, monuments or open spaces to evoke other memories, or histories that reflect the triumphs of the nation state, the hopes and aspirations of linguistic nationalisms or of social groups who have long lacked either economic or symbolic capital in the burgeoning city of Bangalore.
