History and heritage
In one way or another, Delhi has been a kind of historical
magnet, inviting rulers and emperors to place their mark
on the land. Archaeological evidence suggests that here
was the site of Indraprastha, which was the capital of the
Pandavas. There are also traces of Ashokan influence dating
from 2500 years ago.
More recently, in the last ten centuries or so, the Rajputs,
Chauhans and Mughals have invaded and ruled Delhi. Qutab-ud-din
was the first sultan of Delhi in 1206, to be followed by
the Khalji, Tughlaq, Sayyid and Lodi dynasties.
The Mughals – Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan
and Aurangzeb – contributed to the beauty of Delhi,
before giving way to British rule. In 1911, the capital
of British rule in India was shifted from Calcutta to Delhi.
