Extremely requested a lot of people said hey yo, you got to talk about this city
And I don't know why we've kind of missed it
I mean we've been talking about many different places around the world that we have missed this one and so now
Finally we're gonna look at it now before I get into this I also want to know what is your favorite city and why let?
Me know down there in the comments section below now. Let's start talking about Bengaluru now as I mentioned
It's also called
Bangalore as it is also still considered one of its nicknames now the reason it's now called Bengaluru is well
It was called that in history, and it was once known as a place where a battle was fought in
1890 and also during the ganga dynasty, it was known as bengal valle, Aroo
Which means the city of the guards and although it was known as bangalore especially during the british raj by
2014 it was referred to and officially changed to bangalore ooh, now keep in mind guys. I may call it Bangalore
I may call it Bangalore ooh throughout this video
so don't be all like ah
That's pretty much the reason why because I just keep will get confused from time to time
Now of course back in the day of it being called Bengal fall Aroo. It was founded in
1573 now currently it has a megacity population of 12 million three hundred and thirty nine thousand four hundred
Forty-seven people and that makes it the third largest city in the world
It's got a lot of people and to give you an idea of how many people there are there's approximately
17,000 people per square kilometer now Bengaluru is known as the capital of Karnataka
And it has a land size of 709 kilometers square now
We've got over the basics
But let's get into some interesting features about the city first of all let's talk about the tallest building within
Bengaluru now of course the city may not have an impressive skyline like other cities within the country
But it is known for its IT buildings
and it's pretty much considered IT capital of India and as for its buildings the tallest one at the time of this video is the
Matter a pinnacle, which stands 46 storeys high being a hundred and fifty three meters tall and was completed in
2013 now when I was talking about the population of Bangalore if you've ever been there you'll notice that the traffic is
Really bad as a matter of fact Bengaluru is considered to have the worst traffic in all of India and in
2017 they did a study finding out that the amount of vehicle
registrations had been up six thousand ninety nine percent from 40 years ago with an estimation of six point seven million cars or
67 point to two lakhs now when I talk about Bengaluru
And I talked about its previous name Bangalore you might have heard of that name before
especially when watching a movie like Saving Private Ryan
This is because during the first world war a specific piece of explosive equipment called the Bangalore torpedo
Was invented within this city and is currently still in use today now this specific pipe was rigged with explosives
Meant to clear away obstacles during the war and although it was invented by a man named captain RL
McClintock the city can claim that it was developed within its walls in 1912
Now speaking of military we should also talk about how Bangalore has one of the oldest military regiments in all of India
These troopers are known as the Madras engineering group, and they also helped invent the Bangalore torpedo
And this old military regiment in India has been around since 1770s, and it's garrison is located within the city walls
Now one thing you may not know is that?
Bengaluru is known as pub capital of India sounds like my kind of place the place where you can get a lot of tasty drinks
Alcoholic ones that is and one of the reasons for this is because it has a booming nightlife stating that it has over 800
pubs within the city and
Lastly when I talked to you guys earlier about it being known as IT central of India well
It's also considered a Silicon Valley of India as well
This is because the city has so many IT
companies and as a matter of fact in the United States people refer to their jobs being
Outsourced to India as being Bangalore and one of the major reasons that has so many IT buildings is because it has
57 engineering universities and most of these colleges are under the Bengaluru University making the city have the highest amount of
Universities in the entire world so there you have it guys that is our video on
