Delhi
Delhi, where a empire rose and fell before the dawn of history; where citadels
of emperors appeared and disappeared; a city of mysterious eternity whose old
ruins proclaim a majestic and imperial past and whose present pulsates vibrantly
with the ever flowing life of India. The eternal Jamuna bears witness to the
glorious and tumultuous 5,000 year old history of Delhi. A history which begins
with the creation of Indraprastha by the Pandavas and the transformation of
this barren gift of the Kauravas into an idyllic haven.
A history which encompasses all the various kings and emperors who fixed their
royal citadels here-- Indraprastha, Lal Kot, Quila Rai Pithora, Siri, Jahanpanah,
Tughlakabad, Ferozabad, Dinpanah, Delhi Sher Shahi or then Shahjahanabad. but,
combined and integrated into one, these 'new cities' have always been called
Delhi and howsoever many names it may have acquired, Delhi has always been intrinsically
identified with power and imperial sway. There have been at least eight cities
around modern Delhi, and the old saying that whoever founds a new city at Delhi
will lose it has come true every time -- most recently for the British who founded
New Delhi in 1911.
