Introduction to city Delhi - In Delhi
Delhi is a city that defies a one-line description as the
capital of India or as the capital of the world’s largest
democracy. Actually, Delhi is India in miniature. Delhi
is 32,87,263 sq. km of India’s fantastic variety compressed
into 1483 sq. km Over the millennia, it has wooed rulers,
attracted plunderers, and tried historians with so many
details. Today, even as it preserves an enviable heritage,
Delhi is a true cosmopolitan city always on the move.
Delhi remains the centre of power. Once it was a city of
royal power. Then it became the seat of colonial power.
Later it was the seat of bureaucratic power. The seat of
political power it has always been. Today it is emerging
as an important centre for corporate power too. However,
the most fascinating aspect of this city is its cosmopolitan
nature.
