Delhi


Delhi (, (:d̪ɪlliː) ''Dilli''), officially the National Capital Territory of Delhi, is the capital territory of India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Constitution (Sixty-Ninth Amendment) Act, 1991 )〕 During the British Raj, Delhi was part of the Punjab Province and is still historically and culturally connected to the Punjab region and the Doab. It has a population of about 16.3 million, making it the second most populous city and second most populous urban agglomeration in India and 4th-largest urban area〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UN Demographic Urban Areas )〕 in the world.〔

*〕 Such is the nature of urban expansion in Delhi that its growth has expanded beyond the NCT to incorporate towns in neighbouring states and at its largest extent can count a population of about 25 million residents as of 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World's population increasingly urban with more than half living in urban areas )
Delhi has been continuously inhabited since the 6th century BC. Through most of its history, Delhi has served as a capital of various kingdoms and empires. It has been captured, ransacked and rebuilt several times, particularly during the medieval period, and modern Delhi is a cluster of a number of cities spread across the metropolitan region.
The NCT and its urban region have been given the special status of National Capital Region (NCR) under the Constitution of India's 69th Amendment Act of 1991. The NCR includes the neighbouring cities of Faridabad, Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, Neharpar (Greater Faridabad), Greater Noida, Bahadurgarh, Sonepat, Panipat, Karnal, Rohtak, Bhiwani, Rewari, Baghpat, Meerut, Alwar, Bharatpur and other nearby towns. A union territory, the political administration of the NCT of Delhi today more closely resembles that of a state of India, with its own legislature, high court and an executive council of ministers headed by a Chief Minister. New Delhi is jointly administered by the federal government of India and the local government of Delhi, and is the capital of the NCT of Delhi.
==Toponymy==

There are a number of legends associated with the origin of the name ''Delhi''. One is that it is derived from ''Dhillu'' or ''Dilu'', a king who built a city at this location in 50 BC and named it after himself. Another legend holds that the name of the city is based on the Hindi/Prakrit word ''dhili'' (''loose'') and that it was used by the Tomaras to refer to the city because the Iron Pillar of Delhi had a weak foundation and had to be moved.〔 The coins in circulation in the region under the Tomaras were called ''dehliwal''. According to the Bhavishya Purana, King Prithiviraja of Indraprastha built a new fort in the modern-day Purana Qila area for the convenience of all four castes in his kingdom. He ordered the construction of a gateway to the fort and later named the fort ''dehali''.〔(Delhi City ) The Imperial Gazetteer of India, 1909, v. 11, ''p. 236.''.〕 Some historians believe that the name is derived from ''Dilli'', a corruption of ''dehleez'' or ''dehali''—both terms meaning 'threshold' or 'gateway'—and symbolic of the city as a gateway to the Gangetic Plain.〔(''A Dictionary of Urdu, Classical Hindi, and English'' ). Dsal.uchicago.edu. Retrieved 24 October 2011.〕 Another theory suggests that the city's original name was Dhillika.
The people of Delhi are referred to as ''Delhiites'' or ''Dilliwalas''. The city is referenced in various idioms of the Northern Indo-Aryan languages. Examples include:
*''Abhi Dilli door hai'' or its Persian version, ''Hanouz Dehli dour ast'', literally meaning ''Delhi is still far away'', which is generically said about a task or journey still far from completion.
*''Dilli dilwalon ka shehr'' or ''Dilli Dilwalon ki'' meaning ''Delhi belongs to the large-hearted/daring''.
*''Aas-paas barse, Dilli pani tarse'', literally meaning ''it pours all around, while Delhi lies parched''. An allusion to the sometimes semi-arid climate of Delhi, it idiomatically refers to situations of deprivation when one is surrounded by plenty.〔
