News Digest  

Tourism  
Ancient and modern India collide with startling results in Delhi, the nation's capital and third-largest city (10,000,000). While you may stay in a gleaming high-rise hotel with all the latest conveniences, you can step outside and see a lawnmower pulled by a bullock. Parts of the city are well planned, with manicured gardens; other areas are crisscrossed by dark, congested alleys that dead-end into centuries-old mosques and palaces.

Officially two separate cities, the old city of Delhi and New Delhi are really two parts of one sprawling metropolis. New Delhi, largely built by the British, is clean and modern with broad, tree-lined boulevards. Old Delhi, considerably less clean, is noted for spectacular Mughal architecture dating to the 10th century.
