EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic view transports us back in time to the historic moment of the inauguration of New Delhi as the capital of India in 1931. The photograph, taken from an elevated vantage point, showcases the grandeur and architectural brilliance of the occasion. Two imposing secretariats, designed by British architects, dominate the scene. To the right, the Eastern Secretariat, housing the Home and Finance Departments, stands proudly with its intricate arches and colonnades. To the left, the Western Secretariat, which accommodated the External Affairs and Defense Departments, boasts a similar architectural design. In the background, the residence of the then Viceroy of India, Lord Irwin, can be seen. Lord Irwin, who played a pivotal role in India's political landscape during the 1920s and 1930s, oversaw the transition of New Delhi from a small town to a bustling metropolis. The four dominion columns, symbolizing the sovereign status of India, Pakistan, Australia, and New Zealand, are waiting to be unveiled. Their presence underscores the significance of the British Commonwealth at the time. The panoramic view offers a glimpse into India's rich history and the architectural marvels that continue to inspire awe and admiration. This photograph, a testament to the past, provides us with a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in India's history. It invites us to reflect on the country's journey towards independence and the architectural and political transformations that shaped its capital city, New Delhi.
