NEW DELHI

Delhi is the second-largest city of India and with over 17 million people, the eighth largest metropolis in the world by population. One section of the city, the nation’s capital, is officially called New Delhi although the two terms are frequently used interchangeably.

When India gained independence from British rule in 1947, New Delhi was declared its capital and seat of government. As such, New Delhi houses important offices of the federal government, including the Parliament of India.

HYDERABAD

The 400-year-old city of Hyderabad on the banks of the Musi River is the capital of Andhra Pradesh in Southern India. Long a city known for its rich history and tradition, Hyderabad is now competing with Bangalore and Chennai for the crown of India’s IT capital and Microsoft, Google and Oracle have opted to locate their India headquarters there.

The city is quickly becoming a sprawling metropolis of shopping malls and glass-fronted office buildings and swathes of its central districts are under construction or renovation. But although most non-Indians traveling to the city do so on business, there is much of the stunning, typically Indian culture and architecture in Hyderabad around for those who take the time to seek it out.
