Delhi or Hastinapur as it was called in Maha Bharata times is a city of destruction.
It has undergone destruction with every empire. This is because it is a city of sin.
History has not been able to record the number of kings and Empires who have fallen from Delhi. The most recent Historical record is from that of Prithvi raj Chauhan who ruled from the city 100 years ago. After him came many dynasties which have ruled and fallen from there. The last to fall was the British Empire.
With independence the capital should have been shifted to Ujjain from where the Great emperors of India ruled and attained fame and immortality. It is the true center of India and our ancients took it as our national Meridian. But India was depleted nation at Independence and could not afford to build a new capital. So once again anew Nehru dynasty was established and continues to rule from there.
As I said in the beginning it is a city of sins and falls when ever sin reaches its pinnacle. It appears there will be destruction of this city once again very soon.
The Crime rate of this city has gone beyond all other cities of India. One need not go by the government manipulated statistics to know it. Not a single day goes without some gruesome act in this city. Other cities have their usual accidents and deaths etc which are norms of human society, but gruesome acts are special to Delhi.!
