"Dilli Abhi Door Hai" (Urdu: ہنوز دلی دور است, romanized: hanūz dillī dūr ast , Hindi: दिल्ली अभी दूर है, romanized: dillī abhī dūr hai)[1] is a Hindi-Urdu phrase from Persian: هنوز دهلی دور است, romanized: hanūz dihlī dūr ast, lit. 'Delhi is still far', meaning there is still work to be done.[2][3] It was first used by Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, a Sufi saint of the Chishti Order.[4][5][6][7][8] It is used to invoke a sense of nonchalance about far off threats.[9] It has also been used as a political slogan during the Indian general elections.[10][11][12][13]

History

[edit]

Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya and Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, Sultan of the Tughlaq dynasty, had a strained relationship. Auliya cursed Tughlaq, telling him he could not come to Delhi. Within four years, the region of Tughlaqabad was destroyed, as was the newly made fort in Tughlaqabad.[1][2]

Uses

[edit]

The slogan was used by Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar when the East India Company was capturing Indian states rapidly.[14]

In modern times, the slogan has been used by politicians, including by Asaduddin Owaisi in reference to Indian National Congress leader and Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi.[15][16][17]
