It is one of the oldest cities of the world, 5000 years ago it was the capital of Pandavas, Indraprastha. However it has existed far beyond the time of Sri Krishna, even in the Time of Sri Ram, It was a part of his kingdom. The Tomars Dynasty called it Dilli ,The Mughal Invader Shah Jahan changed it to Shahjahanabad after warping its culture in their name. Dilli which was still used by the people was later changed by the British Imperialist who gave it the name New Delhi.
It is the dying world of Sanatan Dharma (never ending law of universe).
