from the hustle and bustle of the city. With
a calm atmosphere, non-confronting people, it
is certainly much more relaxed and peaceful
than Mumbai. If you consider Maharashtra as
a Marathi speaking state of India, then Pune
can undoubtedly be called its capital, with
its glorious past and high concentration of
Marathi speaking people.
In the recent times the city
of Pune became famous for being home to the
Osho Commune International. The ashram attracts
a large number of people to Pune from around
the world to practice Osho's new-age meditation
techniques. Pune is also an internationally
renowned educational centre, being home to many
institutions of repute like Film and Television
Institute of India, Armed Forces Medical
College,
National Defence Academy and Symbiosis Educational
Society.
