0:00.0 | Located in India is one of the largest cities in the world, Delhi. |
0:05.0 | Delhi has a history that dates back over 2,000 years, and it's been the seat of power for multiple |
0:09.6 | emperors and kings. |
0:11.6 | However, in addition to being an ancient city, Delhi is also a modern city that serves |

0:21.1 | Delhi and New Delhi on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. Before I get into the history of Delhi and the differences between Delhi and New Delhi, |
