Beneath the ordinary World and everyday life in Bangalore lies an extraordinary landscape, rich in material, Language and innovation. This boook explores this depth beneath a City that is today, as it has been for two centuries, a significant force in a global economy. It follows the tracks of artistic/scientific enterprises that put Bangalore on a world Map in the late 1700s and early 1800s and set it on a course to becoming the Garden city of India. These enterprises introduction materials, ideas, images, skills and indeed a seeing that are taken for granted today in administration, education, plans and everyday conversation. But they also reveal worlds of resistance, elusive materials, languages, trajectories of previous settlements, and shifting boundaries.
