DELHI TOURIST INFORMATION :-
Delhi, the favorite tourist spot of India. The city
simmering with life and vitality offers an unusual
fusion of historical an modern ages, a city known for
it's rich, valorous and exotic history.The name Delhi,
Dehali, or Dilli is derived from Dhillika, the name of
the first medieval township of Delhi, located on the
southwestern border of the present Delhi, in Mehrauli.
This was the first in the series of seven medieval
cities. It is also known as Yoginipura, that is, the
fortress of the yoginis (female divinities).
This is the home of the Qutub Minar and India Gate,
Chandni Chowk and the Red Fort, the Lotus Temple and
Jama Masjid. Delhi is the city of the mythological
Pandavs and the mythical Indraprastha, of the medieval
Sultanate and of the great Mughal, Shah Jahan. Delhi is
main starting point for North India. It is divided into
two parts Old Delhi & New Delhi. In Old Delhi you will
find many mosques, monuments and forts relating to
India's Muslim history. Red Fort and Jama Masjid,
India's largest mosque combined with the old city's
bazaars. The hub of the metropolis is Central New Delhi,
an orderly plan of wide roads lined with sturdy colonial
buildings which was established soon after the imperial
capital of British India moved here in 1911. It is a
planned city with wide streets, parks. Parliament House,
India Gate President house, Old Fort, Humayun's Tomp,

NEW DELHI HISTORY :
Delhi has been the capital of India since Independence
in 1947, but even before that, the British moved their
capital here from Calcutta in 1911. For much of its
history, Delhi was the centre of power of the various
Muslim dynasties that ruled swathes of the subcontinent
from the 12th century onwards. Modern Delhi is really
two cities: Old Delhi, packed into the narrow, filthy
streets beneath the Red Fort's imposing walls, and New
Delhi, which is its polar opposite, complete with the
grandiose Imperial citadel, broad, leafy boulevards and
well-spaced bungalows, as laid out by Lutyens and Baker
in the 1920s. Old Delhi, built by Shah Jahan in the 17th
century, is only the latest of seven cities that have
existed in this location since the Muslims first
arrived. Around New Delhi, particularly in the area
known as Transjamuna, across the river from the Old
City, are the suburbs and slums that have sprung up to
accommodate a population that has increased, more by
migration than by natural increment, by 46% between 1991
and 2001 (latest figure available). This population
explosion has brought greater poverty and more wretched
degradation in its wake - 45% of Delhi's inhabitants
live in slum accommodation and there are beggars on
every street corner. In India, literacy rates are
improving sharply, but in Delhi, illiteracy continues,
marginally, to grow.
