Delhi
is different things to different people. For uninitiated visitors, a visit to
Delhi is worn as a badge of honour. It’s a place that can be considered
as a first introduction to India.
Delhi has a long and chequered past. Few cities in India can claim the long
continuity and status that Delhi has enjoyed. Its history goes a long way
off to the time of the Mahabharata as Indraprastha, the capital of the Pandavas,
A glorious chapter to Delhi's history was added with the discovery of an Asokan
inscription. Among the other dynasties that laid claim to Delhi were the Tomar
Rajputs (9th or 10th century) and the Chauhan Rajputs (12th century). With
the defeat of Prithviraj, Delhi became the capital of the Pathan Sultans and
eventually of the Mughals.
During the British rule for about 200 years, when the country came under
a unified control, Calcutta became the capital but only to move back to Delhi
in 1911. Since then Delhi has retained its position as the seat of governance.
Therefore, in Delhi, visitors can see the different architectural legacies
that represent different periods in its turbulent history.
