Description

"The History of Bangalore" explores Bangalore's evolution from its early beginnings in the 4th century AD, from the dynasties of the Kadambas and the Gangas, through the eras of princely rule, the rise of the British Raj, and ultimately, the dawn of Indian independence in 1947. Join us as we uncover the power struggles, alliances, and battles that shaped this dynamic city. Expect a captivating blend of scholarly research and engaging storytelling. We'll delve into the reigns of powerful kings, the rise and fall of empires, and the events that forged Bangalore into the prominent city it is today. Whether you're a history buff or simply curious about Bangalore's roots, this podcast is for you. We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Prestige Group, that makes this podcast possible.
