The eternal Jamuna bears witness to the glorious and tumultuous 5,000 year old history of Delhi, which begins with the creation of Indraprastha by the Pandavas and transformation of this barren gift of the Kauravas into an idyllic haven. A history that encompasses all the various kings and emperors who fixed their royal citadels here - Indraprastha, Lal Kot, Quila Rai Pithora,Siri, Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad, Ferozabad, Dinpanah, Delhi Sher Shahi or then Shahjahanabad. But, combined and integrated into one, these 'new cities' have always been called Delhi and howsoever many names it may have acquired, Delhi has always been intrinsically identified with power and imperial sway. There have been at least 8 cities around modern Delhi, and the old saying that whoever founds a new city at Delhi will lose it has come true every time - most recently for the British who founded New Delhi in 1911. |
