Mahatma Gandhi Road (M.G. Road) in Bangalore, India, was called "South Parade" in British times and renamed post independence.

[edit] Commercial

M. G. Road is also one of the busiest roads in the city and is lined on one side with retail stores, food outlets and restaurants. It runs from Trinity Circle at one end to Anil Kumble Circle at the other. It has many office buildings, shops and theatres. It is also a home to a large number of buildings and banks.

Presently it is being improved and prepared for the long-awaited Metro Rail line that connects the eastern part of Bengaluru with the west.

Many Indian cities (including New Delhi and Mumbai) have an M. G. road, and in general there is no linkage between these various roads (except that in many cases, these happen to be the busiest part of the city).
