Historical places in Pune | Old Pune city history | Welcome India

Pune also called Poona. It's the second-largest city in the Indian state of Maharashtra, after Mumbai. It's the ninth most populous city in the country with an estimated population of 6.4 million. The history of the city is closely related to the rise of the Maratha empire from the 17th–18th centuries. In the 18th century, Pune became the political center of the Indian subcontinent, as the seat of the Peshwas, who were the prime ministers of the Maratha Empire. After the fall of the Peshwa rule in 1818, the new British rulers made the city one of their major military bases. Prior to the British takeover, the city was confined to the eastern bank of the Mutha river. Since then, the city has grown on both sides of the river. In the 19th and early 20th century, Pune was considered by the British as the center of political unrest against their rule. The post-independence era saw Pune emerging as a major manufacturing center. Historical places in Pune. Old Pune city history.
