Abstract

New Delhi became the national capital of India during colonial rule in 1911 when the British government decided to shift its capital from Calcutta. One of the immediate requirements after the setting of the new capital city of New Delhi was to fulfill the requirement of land to establish New Imperial Buildings with the help of The Land Acquisition Act of 1894 and its impact on the native people of Delhi. The British government resettled Native People to the different part of the country. My study examines how difficult it was for British Government to compensate people, how they themselves changed the policies, and how Native people reacted to it. I also highlight the challenges that the goverment faced here in New Delhi. This paper explains the conflict in the making of policy between policy makers and Native people.
