What country does New Delhi come from?

New Delhi belongs to India and is also the capital of this country.

New Delhi is located in the northwest of India, on the west bank of Yamuna River, a tributary of Ganges River, and adjacent to the old city of Delhi (Sharjah Hanabad) in the northeast. The whole area of Delhi is 1.482 km2, and the population is 1.637 million (201.654,38+0 years; The population of New Delhi, national capital region is about 133700).

There have been eight Delhi cities in history, and the earliest history can be traced back to the Peacock Empire. This is the capital of the Sultanate of Delhi. In the era of Shah Hanjia of the Mughal Empire (1592- 1666), the old town of Delhi (1639; Or "the seventh city of Delhi"), then called "Nabad Shahanjia".

Calcutta was once the capital during the British colonial period, and Old Delhi was selected as the capital of British India in the early 20th century and rebuilt. After independence, India attached great importance to protecting its cultural heritage and fine traditions. In order to preserve the historic city of Delhi, India has preserved the whole city and built a new capital in the southwest of Delhi.

This foresight is admirable-they have completely preserved an ancient capital. Delhi New Town has naturally become the "Eighth City of Delhi". Since then, New Delhi has become the capital of newly independent India.

Extended data:

The air pollution in New Delhi is so serious that it is considered as one of the most serious big cities in the world. According to the report of June 20 14, in the first three weeks of June 20 14, the daily average reading of fine particles in New Delhi reached 473, which was twice that of Beijing in the same period.

During these three weeks, the daily peak value of fine particles in New Delhi was only less than 300 a day, which was 12 times of the exposure value recommended by the World Health Organization. The rapid growth of motor vehicles, excessive exhaust emissions and poor vehicle maintenance are the main reasons for the poor air quality in New Delhi.

In addition, the security issue in New Delhi has also attracted international attention in recent years. In recent years, rape cases have occurred frequently in India, and New Delhi has been called "the rape capital" by some media. However, this impression probably includes Dudley rape cases outside New Delhi, such as the gang rape cases in Delhi on 20 12 and 12.
