by some of the most powerful emperors in
the history of India. The history of the
city dates back to the time of Mahabharata,
when it was known as Indraprastha, the city
of Pandavas. According to the great epic,
the place was originally a piece of barren
land and has been converted into a beautiful
city by the efforts of Pandavas. Like other
kings occupied the neighbouring region,
some are from other cities like Lal Kot,
Siri, Dinpanah, Quila Rai Pithora, Ferozabad,
Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad and Shahjahanabad.
Later, these cities merged
into one and surpassing lively metropolis,
which finally became the political capital
of India free. Delhi was a witness to the
political crisis for more than five centuries.

to Khiljis and Tughlaqs. In the year 1803
AD, the city has come under British rule.

from Calcutta to Delhi. He became the new
centre of all activities. But the city has
a reputation for throwing one who is seated
on his throne. It included the British and
the current political parties who had the
honour of leading the free India.

New Delhi was officially declared the seat
of government of India. During the partition
