Online Bus Ticket Booking. Kanpur, spelled as cawnpore before 1948, is the ninth most populous city in india and the largest within the state of uttar pradesh. It is the second largest city of the hindi speaking belt after delhi. Remains one of the oldest industrial townships of north india, although it has not kept pace with industrial growth in the rest of india.
