Delhi has a long history which despite occasional dislocation, has shown a remarkable continuity and has the unique distinction of having been India's capital longer than any other city. Delhi has been a witness to the political turmoil for over five centuries. It was ruled by the M
ughals in succession to Khiljis and Tughlaqs. Ancient legend has that "The one who rules Delhi, rules India". It has survived all the ups and downs of time and fortune. Though it has frequently changed its site, its character, and its name, it has throughout a continuous thread of existence, it has seen the rise and fall of many civilizations. From Indraprastha of Mahabharat to the present New Delhi, it has grown into a mega metropolis. From the Dilli of Mauryan King Raja Dhilu or Raja Dillu(as there’s a confusion between historians) to the New Delhi, it has always commanded power. It would be easy to argue that the cities of Delhi were, in reality, less or more than seven. But the accepted number is eight (Including New Delhi) and these are cities whose remains are extant. Historians speak of the "Seven Cities of Delhi" but, between 1100 A.D. to 1947 A.D., there have actually been eight of them:
• Siri
• Tughlqabad
• Jahanpanah
• Firozobad
• Quila Rai Pithora
• Shahjahanabad
• Dinpanah
The old city was surrounded by a wall enclosing approximately 1500 acres, with several gates, comprising –
Nigambodh Gate – North/East, leading to historic Nigambodh ghat on Yamuna River. Kashmiri Gate – North
Mori Gate – North
Kabuli Gate – West
Lahori Gate – West
Ajmeri Gate – South East, leading to Ghaziuddin Khan’s Madrassa and Connaught Place, a concentering point in New Delhi. Turkman Gate – South East, nearby some pre-Shah Jahan remains, which got enclosed within the walls, incorporating the tomb of Hazrat Shah Turkman Bayabani. Delhi Gate –South, leading to Feroz Shah Kotla cricket ground and what was then older habitation of Delhi. The air of Delhi is filled with various emotions, i.e., from betrayal to love, patriotism to cold-blooded war. But the essence is always there, which is, it’s warm welcome for everyone around the world.
