A symbol of the country’s rich past and thriving present, Delhi is a city where ancient and modern blend seamlessly together. Delhi has been the centre of a succession of mighty empires and powerful kingdoms and it actually consists of two components: Old Delhi, in the north, the historic city; and New Delhi, in the south, since 1947 the capital of India, built in the first part of the 20th century as the capital of British India. It is also of great historical significance as an important commercial, transport, and cultural hub, as well as the political centre of India.
