Bengaluru, formerly known as Bangalore, is the capital of Karnataka. It is one of India's biggest metropolitan cities. Bangalore is a cosmopolitan city and is situated on the Deccan Plateau. It is famous for its IT companies and startups, which has given it the name 'Silicon Valley of India'. Though primarily consisting of Kannada, Tamil and Telugu people, the city has seen people from all over the country migrate here, thanks to the jobs and opportunities created by the IT sector. However, the most widely-spoken language in Bangalore is Kannada.The history of modern Bangalore dates back to 1537, when a settlement sprang up around a mud fort built by a feudal lord belonging to the Vijayanagara Empire, named Kempe Gowda. The city did fall into the hands of Adil Shahi of Bijapur, Mughals, Mysore kings and later Hyder Ali. The fort was rebuilt in stone in the 18th century. The British assumed control of Bangalore after winning the Anglo-Mysore war with Tipu Sultan. They promptly set up a cantonment, though they passed the administrative control back to the Mysore kings. After independence, Bangalore became the capital of the new state of Mysore.There has been a surge in large-scale immigration to Bangalore. The state heavily invested in the IT sector and education. Tens of thousands of jobs were created, eventually making Bangalore one of the country's most vibrant and buzzing cities. Given its economic boom and moderate weather conditions, the city has become one of the most visited cities in India. The Bengaluru Airport, as a result, is one of the busiest airports in India.
