LUCKNOW the capital city of Uttar Pradesh( india), historically known as Awadh region, is mostly known as the city of Nawabs or a Constantinople of india.
Lucknow always remained associated with courtly manners, Indian music, gardens and poetry. today Lucknow is is vibrant city witnessing the economic boom.
the history of Lucknow is believed to be associated with Lord Rama who ordered Laxman to establish the city, then Laxmanpuri, which slowly with the passage of time became Lucknow.
since then Lucknow has been under the regimes of Mughals, Nawabs, and British raj.
the sugarcane cultivation has attracted small and big breweries for the production of alcohols.

I just read your discussion and caught my attention. Never been there before but it seems that Lucknow must be an interesting place to visit. Do you go to that place more often? The only third world country I've visited was in the Philippines. Most of my family lives there and it's a beautiful country to be. I can see you have a good background of history for your country. Keep up the good work and happy mylotting!
