'''[[Bangalore]]''' is the capital of the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Karnataka]]. Bangalore is located on the [[Mysore Plateau]] in southwestern Karnataka. With an estimated metropolitan population of 6.1 million (2006), it is India's [[List of most populous cities in India|third-largest city]] and [[List of most populous metropolitan areas in India|fifth-largest metropolitan area]]. Though historical references to the city predate 900, a modern written history of continuous settlement exists only from 1537, when [[Kempe Gowda I]], who many regard as the architect of modern Bangalore, built a mud fort in the city and established it as a province of the imperial [[Vijayanagara Empire]]. The city's temperate climate, which is milder than that of other cities in the country, has been a major attraction to people from other parts of India. After [[Indian Independence Movement|India gained independence]] in 1947, Bangalore evolved into a manufacturing hub for [[public sector]] [[heavy industry|heavy industries]] — prominently [[aerospace]], space and [[defence industry|defence industries]]. Bangalore is referred to as the "[[Silicon Valley of India]]" and has the second-highest [[literacy rate]] in the nation. However, as a large and growing metropolis in the [[developing world]] Bangalore continues to struggle with problems such as [[air pollution]], [[traffic congestion]], and [[crime]].
