As you walk along the narrow bylanes of this city of dreams, tread softly. Every crumbling wall has a story to tell.
Every yesterday is replete with history.
Rulers have come and gone. The city has lived through wars and resurrection, repeatedly rising from the ashes. Cradling civilisations since times immemorial Delhi goes back hundreds of thousands of years back into time. Stone tools belonging to early stone age were discovered from the Aravalli tracts in and around Anangpur, the Jawaharlal Nehru University Campus, the northern ridge and elsewhere - evidence that the Early Man lived here. The excavations of the ancient mound of Indraprastha, capital of the Pandavas, located withing the fold of the sixteenth century Purana Qila revealed evidence of continuous habitation of the site for almost 2500 years.
