New Delhi, is not as 'new' as the word might suggest. It is an ancient cosmopolitan city which has seen many rulers, invaders and settlers over the centuries. A city which is multicultural, yet hostile - forever playing out the battle between 'insider' and 'outsider'. But though Delhi has seen many kings, one can say that the city is the only true monarch, a God in itself.
