ABSTRACT

Addressing the Bangalore Municipal Corporation on 17 April 1962, former Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru stated:

Now Bangalore, … is unlike the other great cities of India. Most of the other cities remind one certainly of the present, … but essentially of the past. But, Bangalore, … is on a picture of India of the future, more specially because of the concentration of science, technology and industries in the public sector here.
