New Delhi
New Delhi is the capital city of India, officially inaugurated in 1931 as the new seat of the British Indian government, replacing Calcutta. It was designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, featuring wide boulevards and grand colonial-era buildings like the Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate. Today, it serves as the political and administrative heart of the country, housing key government institutions and blending its imperial past with modern urban life.
Parliament
The term “Parliament” most commonly refers to the supreme legislative body of a country, with a history rooted in medieval European assemblies of nobles advising the monarch. The most famous example is the Parliament of the United Kingdom, centred at the Palace of Westminster in London, whose origins trace back to the 13th century and which evolved to become a model for modern representative democracy worldwide. Today, it is a working institution that makes laws and scrutinises the government, while its iconic Gothic Revival buildings are a major cultural and tourist landmark.
Sanskrit
Sanskrit is a classical language of ancient India and the primary liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It has a history spanning over 3,500 years and is the source of many modern Indian languages, with its earliest attested form found in the Rigveda. While not a physical site, it is a foundational cultural and intellectual “site” of South Asia, preserving a vast body of philosophy, literature, and scientific texts.
