Kartavya Path

This guide to Kartavya Path in Delhi follows the same ceremonial stretch from the President's house on Raisina Hill to India Gate through a century of different names, beginning with Edwin Lutyens's 1911 design as Kingsway for the new imperial capital. It traces how independent India's 1947 government renamed the road only halfway, and what the boulevard hosted every Republic Day for the seven decades that followed. Listen for how much stayed the same beneath the shifting names.
