Between the 12th and the 19th century AD, Delhi was the capital for many rulers. Siri, Tughlakabad, Jahanapanah, Ferozabad, Dinpanah, Shergarh and Shahajahanabad are the historic ‘seven cities’ that took shape in Delhi. Shahajahanabad, built by Shah Jahan between 1639 and 1648 AD remained the capital of the Mughal Empire until 1857. The eighth city, or the present New Delhi, was built by the British Empire and is the one which is celebrating its 100 years today.

My MPhil papers were related to trade liberalization and informality, based on evidences from the manufacturing sector in India. The size of the informal sector in India is growing. The government should patronize it. India's fiscal deficits and interest rates also interest me.

The government went into panic mode yesterday, accusing the Gandhian activist of fudging his trust records and clamping ban orders on the venue of the fast. Arvind Kejriwal, another leader of the movement, has urged citizens to switch off lights in their homes for an hour from 8 pm today.

Akshat, a baby boy over the age of one, registered his name in the Guinness world records for having a total of 34 fingers and toes.
He has set the record for having the highest number of fingers and toes and hails from the Bareilly district in Uttar Pradesh.
Amrita Saxena, the mother of the child, said it was difficult for her to believe that her son broke the world record, until a family friend convinced her.
"He (family friend) read on the internet about the baby born in China with 31 fingers. Then he said that my boy has broken the record of having 34 fingers. At first, I was not convinced at all. It was hard to believe that my son has broken the record. But later, he along with my husband and my younger sister registered the data in the Internet. Then I was asked to submit certain documents after which his name was in the Guinness World Records," added Saxena.
Doctors attending to the child informed the mediapersons that it was a rare phenomenon and diagnosed it as polydactyly.
"The person who is diagnosed with it is polydactylic. It is due to certain defects in the bone development of the uterus. The reason behind this defect can be either developmental congenital formation or chromosomal anomalies, which is due to maternal infection or drugs," said Dr. Parul Gupta, a gynaecologist.
Gupta further explained that this congenital physical anomaly could be easily cured by performing a surgery.

Delhi University has announced the first cut-off list for various programmes in different colleges. Since the colleges have to admit all students who fall within the announced cut-offs, colleges have erred on the side of caution and have announced slightly higher cut-offs.
The Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) affixed the cut-off for its B.Com (Honours) course at 100 percent for non-commerce aspirants. For B.A. Economics (Honours), the cut-off is 98.25 percent.
This year, Delhi University, one of India's premier varsities, did away with the application process for admission to its undergraduate courses. So the colleges declared the cut-offs on the basis of last year's marks.

Hindu College's cut-off for B.Com (H) last year was 93.25 %. This year the minimum cut-off is 95.5. But don't let these figures fool you. The fourth cut-off list last year admitted students with 87%. However, some programmes such as the Hindu's Economics (Hons) always attracts students with highest percentages. Admissions closed by the second list with almost similar cut-offs. This was also the case with B.Com (H) at SRCC.
So those of you who have scored between 87% and 93% - do not lose heart. You might still get into one of the coveted colleges by the second or third lists. You might have to settle for B.com (H) instead of Economics (hons). So keep the sprits up. The cut-offs may go up by one or two percent for some pricy courses. But for the bulk of colleges and programmes, cut-offs will hover around the same figures as last year.

If nothing else, the Delhi police raid on Baba Ramdev's camp on Sunday has helped clear some confusion. The midnight swoop was unexpected, but we now know that the central government, which treated the yoga guru like an honoured state guest when he first arrived in Delhi, is his enemy.
Congress leader Digvijay Singh has described Ramdev as a "thug" and a "fraud". In turn, Ramdev has accused the centre of trying to murder him, and called senior minister Kapil Sibal "a liar and a cunning man". His supporters, or at least men claiming to be his supporters, have attacked Digvijay Singh's house in Bhopal. The Congress has promptly dubbed Ramdev a secret agent of the BJP. As you can see, a full-fledged war is on.
We also know that the BJP is going all out to support Ramdev. It has organised demonstrations all over India to protest against his eviction, and is complaining that the centre is unleashing Emergency-like terror against its political opponents. Senior leaders like L K Advani are seeking to meet President Pratibha Patil. At least 30 of Ramdev's followers were injured when the police started caning them in the middle of the night, and the government is nervous the outrage could snowball into something too huge for it to control.

Bihar's Super 30 has done it again! Wards of a roadside vendor, mobile phone mechanic, private marginal farmer or truck driver and a class four employee have cracked the IIT-JEE this year.
"It may sound strange but it is true. Boys and girls from socially and economically marginalised families have passed the highly competitive Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) this time at Super 30. All of us, including our students and their parents, are celebrating," Anand Kumar, founder-cum-director of Super 30, told rediff.com here on Wednesday.
This year, 24 out of the 30 students made it to the IIT-JEE from Super 30. In the last three years, all 30 from Super 30 had qualified.
This takes the total number of Super 30 students, who have qualified for the IIT-JEE in the last nine years, to 236, Anand said.
Thanks to Bihar's Super 30, Dharmpal Yadav son of a truck driver cracked IIT-JEE. He informed his father Ram Pravesh Rai when he was driving his truck in Kolkata.
