Pre-Cantonment Bangalore C.1800: Some Environmental and Economic Inferences from Francis Buchanan’S Journey and Other Sources Pre-Cantonment Bangalore c.1800: Some Environmental and Economic Inferences from Francis Buchanan’s Journey and Other Sources Sashi Sivramkrishna Foundation to Aid Industrial Recovery, Bangalore Synopsis This paper attempts to draw some inferences pertaining to Bangalore’s environment and its economy at the turn of the nineteenth century, the eve of “Cantonment Bangalore”. An important source on the landscapes in and around Bangalore is Francis Buchanan’s Journey. A careful study of sketches by Home in his “Select Views in Mysore: The Country of Tippoo Sultan from Drawings Taken on the Spot” also provide interesting clues to what Bangalore’s landscapes may have looked like; surprisingly it may not have been quite like what we might imagine. The conclusion we arrive it is that while Bangalore may well have become “greener” in the Cantonment and post-Independence era, it is the forests in Bangalore’s vicinity that have witnessed the greatest damage. Buchanan’s Journey also sheds important light on several facets of Bangalore’s economy c.1800. From the devastating effects of the Fourth War of Mysore, we try to put together the quantitative and qualitative data in the Journey on important economic issues of the day. The existence of multiple currencies, the real wages and standard of living of the people, the volume and pattern of trade, the occupational structure of the population and even the relative price of several goods of commonly items of day-to-day consumption. Nostalgia is no doubt an important motivator in the study of history, and this is more so ever for a person who has seen and experienced Bangalore over the last several decades; however, nostalgia is often an imagined rather than the “real” past. This paper, it is hoped, might change the shade, if not the colour, of that imagined past. 1 Pre-Cantonment Bangalore c.1800: Some Environmental and Economic Inferences from Francis Buchanan’s Journey and Other Sources Sashi Sivramkrishna Foundation to Aid Industrial Recovery, Bangalore My presentation today is more of observations that I have made in the course of my research that I wish to share with you rather than an original academic contribution on pre-cantonment Bangalore. My fascination with Mysore history began in 2003 when I was working on a documentary film, The Curse of Talakad, which was an attempt to “solve” the mystery of the well-known curse of Alamelamma on the Wodeyars. I had reached a dead-end in my research, when I came across Francis Buchanan’s Journey, which was a survey made by him in 1800-01 of erstwhile Mysore as well as parts of Ceded Territories, Malabar and Canara. His survey gave me what I think was the breakthrough in my story. I went on to complete the film in 2005 … but in the meanwhile my interest in Buchanan had acquired a life of its own. I began exploring the possibility of retracing his entire Journey of some (estimated) 3500 kms and 300 towns and villages, some of them not even mentioned in road maps. I have made some short reccys and each of them put me on a detour. When retracing his Journey through parts of Tumkur and Chitradurga district I was sidetracked by his reports on the iron smelting industry at that time. We began looking for old iron smelting sites and located many of them … perhaps the same ones Buchanan had visited. My research culminated in a paper published in the journal Environment and History. While reading through Buchanan I also realized that he had collected a lot of data on wages and prices. I compiled all the information which ultimately allowed me to argue that the standard of living in erstwhile Mysore (and probably may other parts of India) may well have been comparable to that of Western Europe at the turn of the nineteenth century (and for Mysore, at the eve of colonial intervention in the State). These findings were published in the Journal of Economic and Social History of the Orient (JESHO) in December last year. Today I want to share some observations on these issues that I made during my researches into Buchanan’s Journey; and particularly those that pertain to Bangalore. SOME OBSERVATIONS PERTAINING TO THE ENVIRONMENT My study on iron smelting in Tumkur and Chitradurga districts induced me to pay greater attention on the nature of physical landscapes and how these may actually undergo significant changes over decades. Unfortunately, one aspect in which Buchanan was a let down was the lack of sketches in his book which led me to look for pictures that helped me to “visualize” some of his textual descriptions. The work of a Mr. Home was particularly useful given the period and region covered by him was a subset (though a small one) of Buchanan’s Journey. The sketches presented here are from the book, which many of you would have come across; “Select Views in Mysore: The Country of Tippoo Sultan from Drawings Taken on the Spot by Home”. The book was published in 1808, a few years after the Fourth War of Mysore, the sketches having being made by Mr. Home in the last decade of 18th century. In his compilation, Home had made a few sketches of Bangalore. As I looked at the “old” Bangalore, I was overwhelmed by nostalgia… an imagined past … even though it was of a place 2 and time of which I had little knowledge and no experience. No sooner had the sense of nostalgia abated that I began drawing a comparison of Bangalore … then and now. Home’s sketches of Bangalore had one thing in common … the fort. Two hundred years ago a fort enclosed almost all of Bangalore. Even Tipu Sultan’s palace was situated within the fort walls. Just outside the fort was the marketplace, the pettah. This is the City Market or K.R. Market that we know of today. Since little of the fort exists now, we began by trying to locate the actual spots from where Home made his sketches. The first was the view of the fort from the Kempe Gowda tower at Kempambudhi tank in Chamrajpet. Though Home does not specifically say that he was near the tower, the structure is obviously the same. The location from where Home made the second sketch of the fort is not clear to us. Though we are confident that it is the Kempe Gowda tower in Lalbagh, we are not absolutely sure. This doubt arose because Home’s depiction of tower is different from what it is today. One website, however, mentions that the tower at Lalbagh has been rebuilt. In that case, Home’s sketch may well have been from here. The third is from perhaps somewhere just below the city market flyover. In the foreground is the pettah and in the background, the fort. One section of the fort wall is all that remains today. If you look closely at the sketches, you will notice the almost complete absence of tree canopy. This is not the Bangalore we know of today. Except for some concrete structures peeping out from here and there (in some areas), Bangalore’s skyline looks like a tropical rain forest. The sketches tell us something quite contradictory to common knowledge - the area in and around Bangalore was forested and modern development is transforming this landscape into concrete, destroying the greenery around us. It is quite common to hear an older person recalling the “good old days”, when Koramangala and Jayanagar were jungles and few dared to go there. Was this really the case? A “grey” city Home was telling us a rather different story. Two hundred years ago the area around the fort was barren. This area is nothing but the present-day Bangalore. The tree cover over the city came later. We looked for evidence, which could establish this possibility. Buchanan in his long journey through Southern India during the years 1800-1801 had traveled through Bangalore and its vicinity. His report on the 10th of May 1800 reads: In the morning I traveled from Catcolli to Bangalore, through a very naked country … The remainder is covered with low bushes … (Catcolli is Kadgodi, just a few kilometers east of Whitefield). On the 12th of May he leaves Bangalore for Srirangapatnam via Kingara or Tingara (now Kengeri). He reports: The uncultivated land is more hilly than any between the Ghats and Bangalore. It is very rocky and bare, and does not contain even copse wood … Then weeks later, on the 4th of July, he reports on his way from Agara to Sarjapur. 3 Owing to the want of hands, much of the country through which I passed to-day is waste … the country is remarkably bare. The crops of dry grains ought now to cover the ground; owing, however, to the want of rain, they have not yet begun to spring. But the most interesting is his report from Bangalore itself, in particular his report on Lalbagh. I visited the gardens made by the late Mussalman princes, Hyder and Tippoo … want of water is the principal defect of these gardens; for in the arid country every thing, during the dry season, must be artificially watered. (If you climb up the rock to Kempe Gowda tower, you will notice a large water tank with pipes that show 1930 … the water was pumped up from the lake after electricity was used for the purpose). Though Buchanan records the presence of many cypress and fruit trees at Lalbagh, the diversity is not the same as what we find today. He goes on to give us a clue as to the kind of trees that could be introduced into Bangalore’s landscape … and would indeed be introduced later.

  • 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.

  • Urban Sociology Paper- Unit-IV Infrastructure in Bangalore
    6sem- Urban Sociology paper- unit-IV Infrastructure in Bangalore Bengaluru (/ˈbæŋɡəlɔːr/; Kannada: ಬᢂಗ쳂상 [ˈbeŋɡaɭuːru]) is the capital and the largest city of the Indian state of Karnataka. It is India's third largest city and fifth largest metropolitan area. Modern Bengaluru was founded in 1537 CE by Kempe Gowda, a vassal of the Vijayanagara Empire. Kempe Gowda built a mud fort in the vicinity of modern Bengaluru. By 1831, the city was incorporated into the British Raj with the establishment of the Bangalore Cantonment. The British returned dominion of the city to the King of Mysore, choosing however, to retain jurisdiction over the cantonment. Therefore, Bengaluru essentially became a twin city, with civic and infrastructural developments of the cantonment conforming to European styles of planning. For most of the period after Indian independence in 1947, Bengaluru was a B-1 status city, and was not considered to be one of India's "4 major metropolitan cities". The growth of Information Technology in the city, which is the largest contributor to India's software exports, has led to a decadal growth that is second to only that of India's capital New Delhi. The city's roads, however, were not designed to accommodate the vehicular traffic, growing at an average of 8% annually, that prevails in Bengaluru. This leads to heavy slow traffic and traffic jams in Bengaluru Bangalore continues to fall behind in this area, and foreign visitors are often shocked to see the state of infrastructure, but now things are improving thanks to heavy investment of the Karnataka Government in infra projects.

  • Teaching Public History Working Group Case Study
    NCPH annual conference 2013: Teaching public history working group Case study: University of Hertfordshire - Alix Green, Lecturer in History & Policy The University of Hertfordshire is a new university with origins in the 1950s as a Technical College specialising in engineering and computing. Humanities teaching was introduced early as part of a liberal arts enhancement to core programmes and in the 1970s became a programme of study in its own right. Alongside Astrophysics, History is now the strongest research area for the university, with a small group of faculty within the School of Humanities. Students enter on a module Humanities degree but can specialise into single honours History or take History as a major or minor. Institutional context and identity – very much outward-facing - has shaped the history group, giving rise to early involvement with community groups, public engagement, digital and public history relative to the English HE sector as a whole. Currently, the History group is validating a new undergraduate minor pathway of 6 modules (2 per year) in Public History (the first in the UK). The first public history module – an introduction to public history, memory and heritage – was developed in 2007 as a final year option through the innovation and commitment of one member of faculty (an 18th-century historian). A work experience module, Making histories, followed in 2011. The subsequent arrival of two fixed-term fractional lecturers (both from hybrid academic- professional backgrounds) has allowed the group to develop provision further, with a first-year module on English Heritage (with site visits and guest speakers) serving as preparation for a second- year module, History and Heritage in Practice, to provide students with the theoretical and conceptual skills vital for a successful work placement.
