MB Meets World

My tour of New Delhi this morning (2/15) started with the oldest section of Delhi. In the late 1100s, wars between a Hindu king and Muslim king resulted in a new Muslim king crowned in what is now New Delhi. The first stop on my tour shows an area that had about 10 Hindu temples that were destroyed and a mosque that was built. In the artwork on the mosque are many Hindu symbols, not in defiance but bc that is what the Hindu workers knew.

Then I visited a museum dedicated to Ghandi, at the home where he spent the last 5 months of his life and where he was killed.

Then I visited central Delhi where there are lots of embassies for different countries, the president’s house, the parliament, and the Indian Gate, which honors Indian soldiers who died in WWI.
