Delhi, India's bustling national capital, sits at the pivot point of its country's political landscape. The heart of India has so much praise for its involvement in the country's political scene. It is located in the Old Delhi area and is part of the Parliament of India. Delhi houses the Parliament of India, which meets to make crucial decisions and laws. As elected representatives debate in a chamber where they decide on laws for the country, they shape these own countries' future destiny. With Parliament as a neighbor, Rashtrapati Bhavan (the President of India's official residence) stands next door. This vast building symbolizes the executive part of the country now residing at its head palace. Nearby are the Prime Minister's Office and a host of central government ministries and departments. The North and South Blocks also have many government buildings where government business is conducted. Delhi is also home to many nations' embassies, but its significance on the international stage changes with the pattern and number of these diplomatic missions. All over Delhi, various embassies from countries across the globe are institutions for diplomatic relations between peoples where international cooperation can be facilitated. A concentration of embassies here underscores Delhi's role as a significant player on the world stage long past its years without self-rule. The overlays and internecine complexities of an imperial state that has over 200 nationalities residing within it and at least four official languages in some localities generate a unique dynamic in managing the city's affairs.
