An industrial city, Bhilwara came to be called so because it had a huge majority of Bhil inhabitants. However, these Bhils were driven away by peasants. Ironically, very few Bhils live in Bhilwara now. There's another story attributed to how the place got its name. Bhilwara reportedly had a mint where coins known as 'Bhiladi' were minted and thus came the name of the city.
Renowned in India as the 'Textile City', Bhilwara is home to more than 14,000 small-scale industries. The 900-crore textile industry employs about 35,000 people and is the greatest source of revenue for the city.
