Delhi
is the capital of India and the center for all tourism activities. Most of the
tourists willing to experience the north India begin their trip to India from
Delhi only. More than a gateway city to India, Delhi has a treasure trove of
heritage that if fully explored can be an eye opener to the Indian heritage,
history and civilization. One of the oldest continuing cities of India, the
city was anciently known as Indraprastha during the Mahabharata era. The
Pandava princes established this legendary land which somewhat described its
importance in the Aryavrata (India.) The city later evolved to be the primary
center point to assert control over the richness and bounties of India.
May
be this is the main reason why Sultanate and Mughal rulers always made it a point
to establish their stronghold over Delhi. Hindi phrases like ‘ab Dilli door
nahin’ - Delhi is not too far now, also were frequently used to see how far
the admirers of the city are away from it. The legacy of Delhi continued even
when the British colonialists shifted their base and capital after the
partition of East and West Bengal to this centric city in 1912. This was the
time when Delhi gained high visibility as a symbol of modern power and
imperialism before independence.
And
even after independence, the city became the center for all political
activities. The famous speech by Jawahar Lal Nehru, the first Prime
Minister of India, ‘Tryst with Destiny’ declaring India’s
independence also was rendered within the Red Fort premises. The same trend
still continues where the prime minister of India, every year on the occasion
of Independence Day read out the speech and address the nation.
All
