The New Delhi town plan, like its architecture, was chosen with one single chief consideration: to be a symbol of British power and supremacy. All other decisions were subordinate to this, and it was this framework that dictated the choice and application of symbology and influences from both Hindu and Islamic architecture. It took about 20 years to build the city from. Many elements of New Delhi architecture borrow from indigenous sources; however, they fit into a British Classical/Palladian tradition. The fact that there were any indigenous features in the design was due to the persistence and urging of both the Viceroy Lord Hardinge and historians like E.B. Havell.

The sacking of the city that followed marked the end of Mughal Delhi and the inauguration of the Delhi of the Raj. Today, in the modern Delhi, those who look find stray remnants of the city’s most recent reincarnation all around them: in government buildings, in the colonnades of Connaught Place, in the names of roads or the grandeur of university offices. But the pockmarked walls of Kashmere Gate, Delhi’s modern ruins, also attest to loss and violence, showing that the transition from one version of Delhi to the next has usually followed a fight.
