Bangalore or Bengalūru (Kannada: ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು; ) in Kannada is the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka. Located on the Mysore Plateau in south-western Karnataka, Bangalore has an estimated metropolitan population of 6.1 million (2006), making it India's third-largest city and fifth-largest metropolitan area. Though historical references to the city predate 900 CE, a written history of continuous settlement exists only from 1537, when Kempe Gowda I, whom many regard as the architect of modern Bangalore, built a mud fort in the city and established it as a province of the Vijayanagara Empire.
On December 11, 2005, the government of Karnataka announced that it had accepted the proposal by Jnanpith Award winner U. R. Ananthamurthy to rename Bangalore to its Kannada name, Bengalūru. On September 27, 2006, the Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BMP) passed a resolution to implement the proposed name change, pending approvals from the government of Karnataka and citizens of the city. On October 7th 2006, Government of Karnataka accepted this resolution and decided to officially implement the name change on November 1st 2006.
After India gained independence in 1947, Bangalore evolved into a manufacturing hub for public sector heavy industries—particularly aerospace, space and defence. The establishment and success of high technology firms in Bangalore after the liberalisation of India's economy has led to the growth of India's information technology industry. Bangalore is referred to as the Silicon Valley of India and accounts for 35 percent of India's software exports. Home to prestigious colleges and research institutions, the city has the second-highest literacy rate among the metropolitan cities in the nation. However, as a large and growing metropolis in the developing world, Bangalore continues to struggle with problems such as air pollution, traffic congestion, and crime.

Well, in newspapers etc, it is mentioned approximately 5 million, but actually it may be close to 8 million today. This includes the population of entire Bangalore (i.e. Greater Bangalore, which now covers all the CMC, TMC and Village Panchthana as well).

Bangalore city is not a separate country within India. So, when you don't pass ports ( sea port or international airport) to come to Bangalore from Mumbai, why would you need a passport? Visas are not required for travel within the country.
