In 1882, Maharaja Chamarajendra Wodeyar X of Mysore granted approximately 3,900 acres of land for the establishment of the settlement now known as Whitefield. [1] Key Details of the Grant Recipient: The land was given to the Eurasian and Anglo-Indian Association of Southern India. Purpose: It was intended to create a self-sustaining agricultural and industrial settlement for the Anglo-Indian and Eurasian communities. Initiator: The request for the land was spearheaded by David Emmanuel Starkenburgh White, the president of the association, after whom the area was subsequently named. Original Layout: The settlement was uniquely planned with a circular layout, featuring an "Inner Circle" and "Outer Circle" that are still visible today. Location: The allotted land was located in the Kadugodi area, then on the outskirts of Bangalore. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Historical Significance The Maharaja's grant transformed what was then a remote area into a "Pensioners' Paradise" and a quiet colonial hamlet. This foundation eventually paved the way for Whitefield's 20th-century evolution into one of India's major IT and commercial hubs. [5, 6, 7, 8] Would you like to know more about the colonial landmarks still standing in Whitefield today or the history of its IT transformation? #NammaBengaluru

Trailer out now: yt.openinapp.co/yn18n She grew up five minutes from me in Jayanagar, he became the first prime minister of Indian origin of the UK.

First couple's episode we've ever done!
