When you think of Delhi, the political and cultural heart of India, home to over 30 million people and a hub of national decision-making. Also known as National Capital Territory of Delhi, it’s where protests turn into policy, traffic jams become legends, and everyday life unfolds in the shadow of history. This isn’t just another city—it’s where India’s future gets decided, one traffic light, one protest, one news alert at a time.
Delhi’s streets tell stories no newspaper can fully capture. Take the Delhi-Gurugram expressway, a major highway connecting two of India’s busiest urban centers, where high-speed travel often ends in tragedy. That’s where a Mahindra Thar crash killed five people, sparking real conversations about road safety, vehicle design, and driver behavior. It’s not an isolated incident. Every year, thousands face similar fates on these roads, and yet, changes feel slow. Meanwhile, in the political corridors of Raisina Hill, decisions are made that ripple across the country—from corporate buybacks like Infosys’ ₹18,000 crore move to how cricket finals between India and Pakistan get scheduled in Dubai. Delhi doesn’t just report the news; it *is* the news.
But beyond the headlines, Delhi is also where festivals like Sankashti Chaturthi bring families together in quiet devotion, and where women in nearby states are fighting for alternatives to selling liquor just to feed their kids. It’s the city where a ₹45 crore movie becomes a ₹550 crore phenomenon, and where a kabaddi match between Gujarat Giants and Bengaluru Bulls draws more attention than some state elections. The people here don’t just live in Delhi—they shape it, fight it, celebrate it, and survive it.
What you’ll find below isn’t just a list of articles. It’s a snapshot of Delhi’s pulse—its chaos, its courage, its contradictions. From crashes on the expressway to the quiet strength of everyday residents, these stories aren’t about the city as a place on a map. They’re about the people who make it breathe.
No evidence exists that a BBC reporter assisted a migrant worker traveling from Delhi to Chhatarpur during the 2020 pandemic. Verified reports confirm the scale of the exodus, but no such personal intervention was documented.
