Indore: These days the birth anniversary of cities is being celebrated as Pride Day. Indore's Pride Day is being celebrated on May 31, i.e. today. This city changed itself over time and spread its boundaries. Indore has been making a name for itself in terms of cleanliness for the last 6 years, but efforts to modernize Indore started 100 years ago from the time of Holkar dynasty. Then arrangements were made to extinguish the fire in the city like abroad. Special lines were laid from Yashwant Sagar Pond to extinguish the fire in the city. Sir Patrick Giddis was called from Scotland in 1918 to prepare the first master plan of Indore for the city's market, industry, settlement. In the third decade of the 10th century, work was done according to the master plan. Then the population of the city was two to three lakh.

May 31 has been chosen as Indore's pride day to mark the birth anniversary of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar, the efficient ruler of Malwa. Many types of events are being organized and Indore has also been decorated. Let us tell you today that several hundred years ago when Indore was not Indore.  Actually, Indore is called the economic capital of Madhya Pradesh, Mini Mumbai. But it started on March 3, 1716, when Raja Rao Nandlal Mandloi of Indore obtained a decree from the Mughal Emperor and made Indore a tax-free zone.  

According to information available in the Archeology Department, there was a triangular conflict in the eighth century between the Palas of Bengal, the Pratiharas of the central region and the Rajputs of the south for the supremacy of Indore. It was sometimes ruled by the Palas, sometimes by the Pratiharas and sometimes by the Rajputs. In the eighth century, when the Rajput king of Rajkot, Indra III, won in the triangular conflict, he established a Shivalaya here to commemorate this victory and named it Indreshwar Mahadev. Due to this temple, the name of the city became Indrapuri. In the 18th century, during the Maratha rule, the name of Indrapuri was changed to Indoor and this was the case with the words. In the second half of the eighteen century, the british changed the name of Indor in english and later changed the name to Indore. In the Encyclopædia Britannica, Indore is described as settled in 1715 by landlords interested in business from Maratha chiefs. In 1741, the same landlords of Kampel built the Indreshwar temple, after which the settlement was named Indrapur, then Indore and Indoor and finally Indore.
