Explain the difference between Shahajanabad and delhi
Answers
Shahjahanabad was where the current Walled City of Delhi stands. In other words, the area comprising Chandni Chowk and surrounding areas was called Shahjahanabad during the reign of Mughals, Shahjahan onwards.
New Delhi is the National Capital of Modern India. Its foundation stone was laid in 1911, when the British decided to shift their administration to the 5000 year old historic capital city of India. The city got completed in 1931 and has served as the full-fledged National Capital ever since.
New Delhi was created to rival the then astounding capital of Mughal India- Shahjahanabad. Though now in a sorry state, Shahjahanabad or Old Delhi, as it is called now was a glorious and a magnificent city. However, in the current scenario, New Delhi is one of the finest capitals of the world- one of the most affluent, cleanest, meticulously planned and one of the Greenest National Capitals with total green cover of 47%- certainly adorable!
Remember that both New Delhi and Old Delhi are just tiny parts of the otherwise vast National Capital of Delhi, which basically is Delhi in its entirety or simply Delhi, covering hardly 30-35% of the city's total land area together.
