New Delhi : A city of modern days - 1

The capital of India, Delhi, has a history that spans over several millennia. Situated at the nerve center of the ancient Asian trade route, Delhi has accumulated extraordinary wealth, but repeatedly lost it to successive foreign invaders who have come knocking at the door.

It is said that there is a monument anywhere within a stone's throw of Delhi. And this would not be a false claim considering the number of rulers and dynasties who have established their capitals here.

The walled city of Old Delhi was at one time Shahijahanabad the capital of the Mughals, while the heritage sites dotting South Delhi from Siri Fort, to Hauz Khas, Mehrauli, and Tughlakabad are mute witness to the various smaller Muslim rulers who preceded th Mughals.

New Delhi with Lutyen's architecture, on the other hand, is stamped by the mark of British rule, while the concrete suburbs rapidly progressing in all directions are the ultimate submission to modern India's tryst with its global destiny.

The population of Delhi is cosmopolitan in nature. The lure of a better life has brought the population of this city to a burgeoning 14 million.
