Our Pasts - III

The Making of New Delhi

In 1803, the British defeated the Marathas and gained control of Delhi. But the capital of British India was Calcutta, so the Mughal emperor was allowed to continue living in the palace complex in the Red Fort.

The modern city of Delhi developed only after 1911, when Delhi became the capital of British India.

Demolishing a Past

In the first half of the 19th century, unlike in other cities such as Calcutta and Madras, the British lived along with wealthier Indians in the Walled City (Shahjahanbad). They learned to enjoy Urdu and Persian culture and poetry, and also participated in local festivals.

The establishment of the Delhi College in 1792 led to a great intellectual flowering in the sciences as well as the humanities, largely in the Urdu language, and the period between 1830 and 1857 is often

called a period of Delhi/Urdu Renaissance.

But during the four months starting with the Great Sepoys' Mutiny of 1857, Delhi was controlled by rebels who killed many British and declared Shah Jahan as the emperor of India.

So when the British regained control of the city, they either demolished mosques or put them to other uses; Zinat-al-Masjid, for example, was converted into a bakery. No worship was allowed in the Jama Masjid for five years, one-third of the city was demolished, and its canals were filled up.

In the 1870s, the western walls of Shahjahanabad were broken to establish the railway and to allow the city to expand beyond the walls.

The British then began living in the sprawling Civil Lines area that came up in the north, away from the Indians in the Walled City.

The Delhi College was turned into a school, and finally shut down in 1877
