Question

Please tell any one of these..

Answer 1

$\huge{HEY MATE!!! }$

1.➡ The city of Old Delhi was a walled city with 14 gates, a fort palace complex with river Jamuna flowing near it. The city had narrow lanes, havelis, and crowded mohallas with several water channels. After the British gained control of Delhi, they adjusted themselves in the city.

The situation changed after the rebellion of 1857. Since the British realised that the Mughal emperor was still important to the people, they embarked on a mission to rid the city of its Mughal past. Several palaces were demolished and gardens were destroyed and barracks for their troops were built at its place. Buildings adjoining the Red Fort were also demolished. Many mosques were destroyed in the city. No worship was allowed in the Jama Masjid for next five years. One third of the city was demolished by the British and its canals were filled up. During 1870s, the enclosing walls of the city were broken down to lay railway lines and further to expand the city. The British began to live in the Civil Lines area away from the Indians in the walled city.

Answer 2

1. Answer: The famed water canal system of the Old Delhi deteriorated. Growth in population led to further overcrowding. Many havelis were subdivided and sold. The street front of the havelis were turned into shops and warehouses. The drainage system also collapsed.
2. 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.

1. 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!  
2. 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.
