Delhi
is the Capital of India, it's third - largest city and North
India's industrial hub. Old Delhi was the capital of Muslim
India between the 17th and 19th Centuries and a legacy of mosques,

the imperial capital of India by the British. It's a
spacious, open city and contains embassies and government buildings.
The newer, wealthy suburbs are mostly to the South of New Delhi,
and an ever growing belt of poorer suburbs and slums stretches in
all directions.....
