History of Nagpur

Nagpur is the second capital of Maharashtra. Initially, Nagpur was ruled by the Gonds, but then province started slipping to the Marathas in 1739. After being acquired by the Marathas, the city was declared to be the capital by the Bhonsles. Eventually, it came under the influence of the British. After Independence, Vidharbha, the district that Nagpur lies in, was planned to be a part of Madhya Pradesh. But because of its Marathi speaking population, Vidharbha was merged with Maharashtra.

Zero Mile

Nagpur is officially the geographical centre of India, from where all the distances of all the cities of India are calculated. Erected by the British, who considered Nagpur to be the geographical centre of India, the Zero Mile Stone is a historical monument demarcating the exact point from where all the distances are calculated. Nowadays, this site is maintained by an eminent news daily, the Times of India.
