The period from 1830 to 1857 was referred to as the period of Delhi Renaissance.After the revolt of 1857, everything changed. The British wanted the people of Delhi to forget about their Mughal past.

 The British got rid of the gardens, mosques and pavilions which surrounded the Fort. One-third of the city was demolished and the canals were filled up.It took 20 years for building the city of New Delhi.
