The History of Delhi in Delhi Settlement
The government evacuation department reports it is one of the oldest settlements, perhaps around 4,000 years old. The survey claims that Delhi be the capital of the nation is due to its population and central location within the country. The Delhi attributes to have all the amenities in the past to agree as a complete settlement in terms of its topography, land, water source and climate. In the survey, on being asked despite of many wars taken place in Delhi to conquer it, but still it has always gain a progress till date, in the survey 70% people polled to state that the people in Delhi have always come from diverse cultures and civilization, so at different time era, people came and given their rituals and other practices kept it progressive all the time. The second question in the survey was “How do you think the Yamuna river protected Delhi from invaders?” Maximum people responded stating that The river Yamuna separates Delhi into two parts and its width and dense water provided protection to not cross it easily even with a big army without catching them up to an extent.

Has Delhi always been an inspiration for other settlements in South Asia?
This questionnaire on being asked, maximum people responded Yes by supporting their statements Delhi has always been an advanced settlement in terms of technology, economically, trade, agriculture and safety. So it claims to be an inspiration for other settlements in South Asia. In the survey, the questionnaire put up “Is Delhi a sustainable settlement? If yes or no, then how?” The majority of people reported that No, it is not since the quality of environment has been depleted than before here. The living conditions for livelihood are unsafe and hazardous for humans and animals both.

With the survey responses, on the whole, it can be said that Delhi settlement is one of the ancient advanced settlements but in the world today, it’s not a safe livelihood and settlement now. Evidently, it has seen many warships, destruction, killings and deforestation. Generally, an old settlement preserves its authenticity to claim itself to be superior and better than others but in case of Delhi, the river Yamuna is almost extinct from its presence. There is an extreme change in the climate condition here, which damages the sustainability of humans, animals and planets. People in Delhi must be aware and make it a habitable place to survive for all.
