    Delhi Introduction:                                                                                                

    Delhi is Cosmopolitan city and Capital of India. It is the third largest city. Delhi is main starting point for North India.It is divided into two parts Old Delhi & New Delhi. 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.
Delhi becomes more manageable as you start to appreciate that geographically as well as historically it consist of several distinct cities if anything,  Many of the city's hotels are here, concentrated amid the columned facades of Connaught Place, and just north of Old Delhi, Shah Jahan's seventeenth-century Capital (shajahanabad), lies 2 km or so further north. This is Delhi at its most intessentially Indian, where the traditional lifestyle of its predominantly Muslim population has changed little over two hundred years.

  Belief has it that Delhi was the capital city of the Kingdom of the Pandavas, the heoros of the Mahabharata over 3000 years ago. Since the 12th century, Delhi has seen the rise and fall of seven major powers. The Chauhans took control in the 12th century and made Delhi the most important Hindu centre in northern India. When Qutab-ud-din Aibak occupied the city in 1193, he ushered in six and a half centuries of Muslim rule. The Delhi Sultanate lasted from 1206 to 1526, despite its inconsistent rule, and was followed by the mighty Moghuls from 1526 to 1857. The basis of what is today 'Old' Delhi, including the Red Fort and the Jama Masjid, was built during the reign of the Moghul emperor Shah Jahan (1628-1658).

  In 1803, the British captured Delhi and installed a British administrator. Delhi was not the capital of India at the time, When the British decided to make Delhi the capital in 1911, they built New Delhi in a grandiose imperial style, as if the sun would never set on the British Raj.
