Introduction
Delhi is a hub of contradictions. Modernity nestles against living history. Apart from being a tour destination in its own right, the Delhi is also treated as the doorway for tourist to visit the wonderful land that is India. In Delhi, tourist attractions such as old historical landmarks exist side by side with skyscrapers and squeaky-clean shopping malls.
Historical Background of Delhi
A city of great antiquity, the place finds mention in the ancient scriptures such as the Mahabharata. Known as Indraprastha during that period, it served as the capital of the Pandavas made famous in the epic. Delhi took center stage of attention in the 8th century when it became seat of power of the Tomara Rajputs who were succeeded by the Chauhans. Chauhans were decisively defeated by Muhammad Ghori in the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192. This battle heralded the Muslim rule in India which continued till 1857 when the Mughal Empire came to an end. Delhi was once again made capital of India in place of Kolkata in 1911.
With Indian Independence in 1947, the last vestige of the British power was gone. India became a democratic country and Delhi continues to be the capital of India and chartering success story each and every day.
