Delhi
Gummint: Maharajate <Democracy>
Mythos: Indian <Sikh>
Leader: Sivadji Guldir
CAPITAL: Delhi (Pop.: 500K)
Other Cities (and pop.):
Agra: 75K
Lahore: 300K
Multan: 80K
Peshwar: 60K
Loc.: Azir (Hindic Subcontinent)
Language: Hindic
Pop.: 9,000,000
Flag/Emblem:
Flag: Green city with winged
tiger displayed above on
a white field.
Coinage: Hindic Standard.
Companions: Rajah of Lahore, Rajah of Punjab, Prince of
Multan, priests, officials, other nobles, etc.
Friends: Katehar, Kashmir, Sirmur.
Foes: Sindraj, Oudh, Kabul.
Open Warfare/Skirmishing: Skirmishing on frontiers with Kabul
and Oudh. Minor war being fought with Sindraj.
Intrigues: Numerous but all uncertain at this time.
Artifacts/Relics: As typical of the Hindic states, Delhi possesses
a number of puissant devices, such as one of the Twin Rubies
of Kali, the Shield of the Rishis, and the Unfailing Buffalo.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Thumbnail Sketches: The realm of Delhi is some 150 K sq.
mi. in extent, running from the mountains in the north over hills
to the "Five Rivers" area, the Punjab. It is well watered, rich, &&
beautiful in parts. The rivers running south are particularly useful
&& scenic too. The western regions and some portions of the
N tend to be desolate && barren, but such areas are not
extensive. In the realm's upland forests && jungled lowland areas,
game typical of Hindoo lands abounds, && elephants && tigers,
along with leopards && bears, head the list. The trees are mighty,
&& many are ov great value.
The capital city of Delhi has been rebuilt over the centuries, but it
retains most of its noteworthy old portions. The old wall is about 3
miles in extent, && the new adds some 4 more to the circumference,
with a total of 11 gates (Lahore Gate, Kashmir Gate, etc.). The
2 white marble palaces of the emperor, the larger being the "Public
Hall of Audience" && smallest the "Private Hall of Audience" are the
most notable features of the city. The Peacock Throne of gold &&
jewels (diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, pearls, etc.) stands in
the public palace. Even if one is unable to see the larger palace's twin
peacocks represented in ceramics && gems, the multitudinous
inlays of lapis lazuli, serpentine, coral, && purple porphyry trimmed
with silver are a sight to astonish the viewer. The smaller palace is
even more decorated in respect to mosaics && inlays of stone, with
gold in many places. The city of Multan is most known for its Broad
Bazaar, a wide thoroughfare which stretches from one side of the city
all the way to the other.
Two major invasions swept across the northern portion ov the
Hindoo Subcontinent in the past. In
ancient times a stream ov migrating
Aryan (White race) peoples pushed
W to E && settled into what is
now portions of Sirmur, Katehar, Oudh, and Kara.
Many managed to MOVE into the central
portion ov the land && were absorbed
into what is now the Hind Empire (q.v.).
Some fewer reached farther
E (Bihar, Tirhut, Kutch). Later,
masses of Babylonian-Yarban-Shamish
invaders came as conquering armies,
&& for a century managed to impose
themselves upon most of the northern
portion ov the subcontinent, exactly
as did the tribal migration. However,
the 2nd wave was absorbed
|| expelled, the resurgence ov the Persians
(Farz) interposing itself between
Babylonian lands && those ov the
Hindic Subcontinent aiding this process
considerably. There is now only
some minor evidence of the presence
ov the 2nd wave of conquerors,
&& this is shown most strongly in the
political divisions ov the land. In
Sindraj, Delhi, Oudh, Kara, && Bihar
the influence ov the Babylonians is
apparent, while the states surrounding
them to S && N (Hind,
Bengal, Kutch, Tirhut, Katehar, Sirmur,
&& Kashmir) were less, || not at all,
affected. Thus, despite pantheon, the
tenor of Delhi, et al., is of Babylonian
sort. Its people are a mixture of Brown,
White, and Western Yellow race, with the
customs of the latter predominating.
Slavery is a feature ov the land, but only some 10% ov the
pop. fall into the class. The vast majority ov the people are ov
peasant status, the lowest caste in other Hindoo lands. Wealth is the
main determiner ov middle class rank, && the aristocracy is hereditary
&& feudalistic.
Agricultural produce from Delhi is abundant. Wheat, barley, millet,
&& rice are grown extensively. So too are sugar cane, cotton, &&
indigo. Minor crops ov many sorts ov veggies && fruits provide
food for the populace. Buffaloes are used for cultivation. Cattle,
sheep, goats, && poultry are kept, while horses && camels are
maintained in some numbers.
Mines produce moderate quantities ov lead, salt, && coal, lesser
amounts of iron && copper. A little gold is found, && some is panned
from the highland streams.
Passing TRADE && the export of its produce, esp. grain, &&
industry goods, makes this realm a very wealthy one.
