  • Delhi\NewDelhi?

    An article I am reading refers to Delhi and New Delhi and I am not sure whether there still are two cities or just one.

    Is Delhi a separate city? How far from New Delhi?

    Is it common for a writer to refer to New Delhi as "Delhi.?"

    Thanks for the clarification. ... wdc

      regarding topic

      Delhi is a metropolis in India. The city is one of the three conterminous census towns that make up the National Capital Territory (NCT), the other two being New Delhi and Delhi Cantonment. The name Delhi is used to refer to the National Capital Territory, which is a special union territory jointly administered by the Central government, NCT's elected government and three municipal corporations. The city is also the capital of the NCT.
      --from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delhi

      But short of all that terminology Delhi and New Delhi are commonly used for the same entity which is the capital of India.
