Top Attractions in South West

Dwarka Baoli

Dwarka Baoli ( also known as Loharehri Baoli ) is a historical stepwell recently discovered in Dwarka Sub City, in south west New Delhi, India. It was constructed for the residents of Loharehri village by the Sultans of the Lodi Dynasty in the early 16th century. Dwarka now stands where the Loharehri village once stood. Located in a barren stretch of land between a residential society and a private school on Azad Hind Fauj Marg, Sector 12, Dwarka, it was hidden by a large group of Peepal trees and covered by a thick undergrowth which seems to have aided in its relative obscurity. It is mentioned in Maulvi Zafar Hasan's 1910 Monuments list which says it was not very deep and had 22 steps. It is under restoration by the State archeological department and work will be taken up by INTACH Delhi Chapter. Baoli or bawdi, also referred to as baori or bauri, is a Hindi word (from Sanskrit wapi or vapi, vapika). Water Temples of India and temple step wells were built in ancient India and the earliest forms of step well and reservoir were also built in India in places like Dholavira as far back as the Indus Valley Civilisation.

Inder Puri

Inder Puri (Tamil:மொழிபெயர் ), (Hindi:इन्दर पुरी ), is a fairly small, self-contained residential colony located in the south part of New Delhi. It lies between Naraina and New Rajinder Nagar area and is an upscale neighborhood. Inderpuri has some of the wealthiest families residing, generally around B, C, R, EA and RA blocks. It is a pollution-free area and is located next to the renowned Pusa Institute. The area has a bus stop, retail shopping outlets, and various parks. It is well-known colony as it is close to shopping hubs such as Karol Bagh, and Rajouri Garden. It itself has a commercial area where one would get almost all household consumables and appliances etc. It has its own police station, post office, market, various banks branches and ATM's and multiple places of religious worship like Temples, Gurudwaras and a Church. With the expansion of Delhi towards west with Rohini and south with Dwarka, Inderpuri now actually falls right in the heart of Delhi. It is evident from the fact that Inderpuri now falls under the New Delhi Lok Sabha Parliamentary constituency, the most important parliamentary seat in India in terms of national significance. Inderpuri falls under the Rajinder Nagar assembly constituency. It is very close to the domestic airport, as well as to the New delhi railway station plus also close to South Delhi areas like South Extension and Greater Kailash. Inderpuri is also very close to Major hospitals like Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and BL Kapur Memorial hospital on Pusa Road. All India Institute of Medical Sciences and the Safdarjung hospital are also not far from Inderpuri. The area has a small railway station as well on the Delhi Ring Railway. Indian Bank Officers quarters is there in Inderpuri C Block. One of the best parts about this locality is that its very accessible and in the city heart but is still very pollution free and relatively cooler due to being surrounded on 3 sides by large green tracts namely 1) Delhi cantonment 2) Pusa institute and 3) Delhi ridge on third side. A good but unexplored tourist spot nearby is the Delhi War Cemetery. Inderpuri has an Two Mariamman temple (South Indian), Murgan/kartik temple (South Indian), Arya Samaj Mandir, a Sanatan Dharm Mandir, two shiv temples, one hanuman mandir, one gurudwara and one church. It has three large parks also namely Veer ravindra kaura park, D Park and C park.

India–Palestine relations

Indo-Palestinian relations have been largely influenced by the independence struggle against British colonialism. After India achieved its independence in 1947, the country has moved to support Palestinian self-determination following the partition of British India. In the light of a religious partition between India and Pakistan, the impetus to boost ties with Muslim states around the world was a further tie to India's support for the Palestinian cause. Though it started to waver in the late 1980s and 1990s as the recognition of Israel led to diplomatic exchanges, the ultimate support for the Palestinian cause was still an underlying concern. Beyond the recognition for Palestinian self-determination ties have been largely dependent upon socio-cultural bonds, while economic relations were neither cold nor warm. India provided $10 million relief to Palestine's annual budget on one occasion. However, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and Israel, there has been increased cooperation in military and intelligence ventures. The fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of Islamist anti-state activities in both countries paved the way for a strategic alliance. Since then, Indian support for Palestine has been lukewarm although India still recognises the legitimate aspirations of Palestine. India recognised Palestine's statehood following its own declaration on 18 November 1988; although relations were first established in 1974.
