| About Pune Tourism |
Once referred to as the Oxford of the east, Pune
continues to be a stronghold for academics and culture. Its leisurely
ambience finds its roots in its history as a cantonment town since the
19th century. The buzz in the city comes from its lively
cultural outpourings and the modern-day pursuits of its youthful
population. The old capital of the Peshwas, Pune
was ruled by a number of rulers till 1818 amongst them the
Rashtrakutas, the Mughals, the Marathas and the British. The great
Maratha warrior Shivaji lived here as a little boy with his mother for
a while. The British having defeated the Marathas eventually turned Pune into an important cantonment town, and made it the monsoon base for the Bombay Presidency. Pune played an important role in India's
struggle for independence with the likes of Bal Gangadhar Tilak and
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar dominating the political arena here.
