Delhi is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world. Having been
the capital of several empires in ancient India, Delhi was a major city in the old
trade routes from northwest India to the Gangetic Plains. Many ancient monuments,
archaeological sites and remains of national importance have been erected in its
history.The Mughals built a section of the city (now known as Old City or Old Delhi)
that served as the capital of Mughal Empire for a long period. During the British
Raj, New Delhi was built as an administrative quarter of the city. New Delhi was
declared the capital of India after India gained independence from British rule
in 1947. As the seat of the Government of India, New Delhi houses important offices
of the federal government, including the Parliament of India. Delhi has grown up
to be a cosmopolitan city owing to the immigration of people from across the country.
Like many other large cities of the world, Delhi suffers from urbanisation problems
such as pollution, traffic congestion, and scarcity of resources.
