Modern and Ancient Delhi
A thousand years of history lie in Delhi, the
capital of India and its third largest city.
Located in the north where the country is
narrowing between Pakistan in the west and China
and Tibet in the east, Delhi was the capital of
Muslim India from the twelfth to the 19th
century. Historically, it has been the center of
vital trade routes and strategically located at
the gates of the fertile Ganga plain - the
social, religious and cultural social line of
India.

There are now 2 cities of Delhi, New and Old.
There were at least 8 cities listed on and around
the site, the oldest being Indraprastha, existing

legends about the founding of the city and some
archeological dates as to its age. The Tomar
Rajputs founded and fortified the walls of
Dhillika, the first of the medieval cities, in
the 9th century AD and were overthrown in the
12th century by the Jaipur Cauhans who built a
second defensive wall.  The Turkish invaders in
1193 put an end to Hindu domination and began the
new Islamic era of the city.

Company, Delhi lost its prestige and became
another provincial city. In 1911, the British
chose Delhi as their capital, transferring the
vice - royal headquarters of Calcutta. Plans were
soon underway to build New Delhi south of
Shahjahanabad and Edwin Lutyens and Herbert

design it.
