Against this may be placed the former

Ruins Of lndia's Old Capitals,

Within few miles Of Delhi, the new
capital Of India. are scattered the
ruins Of several former capitals, the
first of which is supposed to date from
the fifteenth century before Christ and
was founded by the Aryan colonists.
It's existence continued till the first
century before Christ. after which sew
eral cities rose and fell near the pres
ent site until Mohammed of Char es-
tablished Delhi as the capital Of the
Mohammedan empire Of India in 1893.
1t remained the capital Of successive
dynasties until 1903, when 1t was cap
tured by the British and made center
Of British rule. 1t was the center Of
the mutiny OF 1857 and was recaptured
by the British after a memorable
siege. 1t has the advantage over Cal
cutta Of being on an elevated central
plain, intimately associated with the
history of both the Hindu and Mo-
