Delhi's many attractions are not always obvious; most see the problems with the high levels of pollution, growth, and poverty and not the rich history it offers. Many Delhiites are disappointed that the traditional Indian culture is disappearing and being preplaced with high levels of crime, "unauthorized" colonies, and ever expanding slums. Few show pride in this once great city, most feel that it has become a bad mix of civil servants, ambitious politicians, and greedy companies. As the second most populous city in the world Delhi has an expanding population of 14 million. It has swallowed all neighboring towns to reach an amazing 585 square miles and become the embodiment of modern day India.
