Probing into the history beyond mere historical facts, this book focuses on the ′imaginations′ that have determined the course of Bengaluru over the last two-and-a-half centuries. It puts together contemporary accounts of the imaginations of those who were heard at each point of time. This approach is particularly relevant in present day India, of the current time where debates on history are largely a matter of choosing one set of historical facts instead of another.
This work provides a new view of Bengaluru′s history as well as a method of looking at the past that is quite different from most Indian historical studies.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The process of resurrection from Bengaluru through Bangalore back to Bengaluru has phases punctuated by fascinating events and incidents. This has been faithfully recorded in the book titled Bengaluru, Bangalore, Bengaluru: Imaginations and Their Times. It has been a successful attempt by three well known editors, in putting together visions fired by imaginations of armymen, bureaucrats and academics of different ages and at different times spanning across nearly three centuries. What is interesting about the book is the way in which centrality of the city’s history is maintained despite the multiple focal points criss-crossing as one leafs through the chapters of the book. The factual content for a change is methodologically less historical in nature and unconventional in presentation…. The divergent factors emerging out of the well-researched archival material are interwoven into a meaningful whole. The authentic study of different phases of the development leads to brighten phases of the development leads to brighten visions of ‘Bengaluru, Bangalore, Bengaluru’ beyond the imaginations and their times.

-- The Statesman

Efforts like this book backed with immaculate research become extremely vital and necessary. Using the past to build a bridge to the present and a roadmap for the future, as encapsulated in the book, is definitely how the history of any city needs to be written, read and understood. -- Current Science
