Delhi and Lahore-Twin Cities

[ElrondInRivenDelhi]

I'm always very interested in learning about cities around the world, for I think that cities breed culture. I read up about Lahore and Delhi, and it seems very interesting the way both the cities have so many aspects in common: Mughal monuments, an old-world charm (unlike their coastal counterparts in either country), less high-risies and more gardens, roundabouts, wide roads, even a ring-road! I read in some old story that Lahore and Delhi were considered sisters, but I didn't know the extent of this bond! Even the city culture is similar...but I can know that for sure if I learn more about Lahore.

Delhi, delhi hoga...per Lahore, Lahore hai !!

perfectly described by Winston Churchill "Lahore is a city with a body, mind and a soul of its own"


Joke: A Lahori was admitted to Heaven, after wandering around for quite a long time, God asked "so you like it here, dont you?"
he said yeah, I like it here, but Lahore, Lahore hai !!


sorry bro, no comparison whatsoever !!

both cities have much common architecture and weather, I dont know much about dehli people but Lahoris are great

I thought Lahaure and Amritsar were traditionally considered the most alike cities.

No, Delhi and Lahore are totally different in every aspect. No Relation. Lahore is Lahore and Delhi is Delhi.

Well yeah both are capitals of the Mughals, both have always been the city of power in their respective regions and both are packed with history. Not too sure about the culture part though. Lahore has always maintained its Punjabi identity.

Sorry but this is Karachi not Lahore.

 

[Protectionist Gareth]

There might be some historical architectural similarities,otherwise the cities are different.

 

[Karachiite]

Lahore Lahore Hai. Much cleaner and greener then Delhi. Also just entering Lahore you get a feel of history and stuff. Also a city where you have mixing of different religions. Great Churches, mosques and gurdwaras.

All I know about Delhi is that it's the rape capital.

And btw Im from Karachi so Im totally unbias here.
