Hi
Short Answer - The Partition of 1947 brought about a massive demographic impact with significant Muslim population leaving the city and half a million Hindu and Sikh refugees from Pakistan pouring in, doubling the city’s population in months to around 1.3 million. Large parts of today’s Delhi grew out of the refugee camps as the city expanded ferociously to the South, West, and North to house the newly added residents.
“The city that was once a Mughal city, then a British city, had by the 1950s emphatically become a Punjabi city” according to historian V.N. Dutta.
