WELCOME to Bengalooru, garden city of India,
capital of Karnataka state; city of exotic
temples, of Haider Ali and his son, the Tiger of
Mysore; city of software, technology parks,
cyber cafés and globalisation at its most
glamorous; city, above all, of cooked beans. And,
at the same time, goodbye Bangalore, boring
colonial cantonment whose name failed to honour
the kind old woman who plumped up a hungry
14th-century king with a small bean feast.
Following the examples of Bombay, Madras and
Calcutta, Bangalore has rebranded itself, taking
the local name for city of cooked beans.
