India, officially the Republic of India, is the world’s most populous nation and the seventh‑largest by area. Since independence in 1947,
it has remained the world’s largest democracy. New Delhi, part of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, serves as the seat of all three branches of government
and is administered by the New Delhi Municipal Council. It includes major landmarks such as Rashtrapati Bhavan, Sansad Bhavan, the Supreme Court, and Bharat Mandapam—the
country’s largest convention center. India’s cultural diversity is reflected in its vast Hindu pantheon, countless temples, and a cuisine defined by spices and regional
vegetarian traditions. Despite widespread poverty, daily life is marked by resilience and grace. Delhi, a sprawling metropolis of more than 28 million people, is the
second‑largest urban area in the world. Old Delhi, founded in the 1600s, is home to the Mughal‑era Red Fort and the Jama Masjid, whose vast courtyard can hold 25,000
worshippers. Nearby, Chandni Chowk remains one of India’s most vibrant bazaars, filled with food stalls, sweet shops, and spice markets that capture the sensory richness
of Indian life.
