What do u mean by the sentence - as a result the population of Delhi swelled ??

Answer 1

Hi friend!

$\bold{\large{\mathbb{Answer:}}}$

The phrase 'population swelled' means the population of Delhi went beyond the capacity that it could hold. In other words, Delhi became too much overcrowded.

So the sentence means that the population of Delhi increased like anything due to the massive transfer of people after partition of India in 1947.

Hope you found my answer helpful. Keep Smiling!
