Gabbar District!!
Famous Ramgarh of Gabbar Singh( Where Sholay was shot in 1971) will now become a district, will make its debut on Independence Day.
As per the 2000 Indian census, Ramanagara had a population of 79,365. Males constitute 52% of the population and females 48%. Ramanagaram has an average literacy rate of 63%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 67%, and female literacy is 58%. In Ramanagaram, 13% of the population is under 6 years of age.
Along with Ramanagaram, Chikballapur in Kolar district will be carved out as a district on August 15, with the cabinet clearing both the proposals on Thursday. With this, the number of districts in the state will go up to 29. It is said Rs 72.58 crore had been earmarked for infrastructure for Ramanagaram and Chikballapur districts.
I hear that it’s going to be called Bangalore South district.
And how much of Ramnagaram is Gowda-owned ? I can see the family’s fortunes growing, courtesy the districtization! Surely there are other ways of ensuring development.
read this article in the indian express. it contrasts the old ramgarh and the new ramanagara. nothing has changed. only the passage of time is of note.

Good old “Sholay”!
The scene at the water tower never fails to crack me up. Especially the two onlookers commenting on the action. They manage to upstage every other actor on the screen. :))
