In Old Delhi, for centuries families have grown up in the same Havelis - unique old architectural homes that were built during the Moghul Empire. For generations, families have stayed together, neighbours have known each other and community has been a core element in the way they live, something that is disappearing in Western society. But change is coming to Old Delhi too.
