Welcome address
Dr. Rajesh Nagpal M.D.
Dear Colleagues,
The Indian Association of Biological Psychiatry chose the city of Delhi to host the first Global Conference on Biological Psychiatry in September 2014.
Did you know the UNESCO is actively considering Delhi as a heritage city? Nestled by the Aravalli range in the foreground and the Great Himalayan Range in the background, this bright happening capital is well connected by direct flights from major cities across Europe, Asia and America. The venue, J W Marriot, three minutes from the international airport with eight Conference rooms, plug and play systems and drop screens offer the discerning delegate, the very best in choices.
Over the last six months the Organizing Committee is working in close coordination with the Scientific Committee to deliver truly outstanding scientific deliberations. We welcome clinicians, basic science experts from all corners of the globe and workers on all aspects of a diverse and exciting discipline.
A galaxy of International and Indian experts have already agreed to attend and showcase the best of their work to mesmerize the audience hungry for quality science. Use this opportunity to engage with the future of Biological Psychiatry.
I look forward to welcoming you personally to my home city New Delhi, India.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr. Rajesh Nagpal
Conference Chairperson

City of New Delhi
Here we stand in Delhi city, symbol of old India and the new. It is not the narrow lanes and houses of old Delhi
nor the wide spaces and rather pretentious buildings of New Delhi that count, but the spirit of this ancient city.
Delhi has been an epitome of India's history with its succession of glory and disaster and with its great capacity
to absorb many cultures and yet remain itself. It is a gem with many facets, some bright and some darkened by
age, presenting the course of India's life and thought during the ages.
We face the good and the bad of India in Delhi city which has been the grave of many empires and the nursery of
a republic. What a tremendous story of hers! Here the tradition of millennia of our history surrounds us at every
step, and the procession of innumerable generations passes by before our eyes. Delhi has a long history which
despite occasional dislocation, has shown a remarkable continuity and has the unique distinction of having
been India's capital longer than any other city.
Ancient legend has that "he who rules Delhi, rules India". It has survived all the vicissitudes of time and fortune.
Though it has frequently changed its site, its character and its name, it has throughout a continuous thread of
existence it has seen the rise and fall of many civilizations. From Indraprastha of Mahabharat to the present
New Delhi, it has grown into a mega metropolis. From the Dilli of Raja Dillu to the New Delhi, it has always
commanded power.
General information
st1 Global Conference ofBiological Psychiatry, India, 2014
The earliest reference to a settlement at Delhi is found in Mahabharata. King Dhratarshta of Hastinapurhave
the tracts around Delhi to Pandavas to set-up their Kingdom. This part of Delhi was known as Khandavaprastha.
Yudhisthir, the Pandava prince, cleared the forest known as Khandavavan and established the city,
Indraprastha, in Delhi. Indeed it was a formidable city so grand that it made kauravas the enemies of pandavas.
From that period Delhi witnessed the rise and fall of many dynasties and Empires. The location of the city
attracted Indian rulers of all kinds from ancient times because of its strategic and commercial value.
It would be easy to argue that the cities of Delhi were in reality less or more than seven. But the accepted
number is seven (excluding New Delhi) and these are cities whose remains are extant. Historians speak of the
"Seven Cities of Delhi" but, between 1100 A.D. and 1947 A.D., there have actually been eight of them:
The oldest city near the site of the Qutab Minar:-
Siri
Tughlqabad
Jahanpanah
Firozobad
The city around Purana Qila
Shahjahanabad
New Delhi
Each of the these cities grew round the palace - fortress of a particular dynasty and every dynasty wished to
have a new headquarters for consideration of prestige. Even the Kings of the same dynasty had this ambitions,
and realized it if they had the means to do so. With each successive reign, some distinctive architectural
features was added or some change in urban morphology occurred. Often some important new buildings
would, rise, something monumental - whether a mosque or a tomb, a palace, a fortress or a victory-tower.
The story of Delhi as the Capital of India began with the Muslim conquest of Northern India at the end of twelfth
century. Since then, with some interludes, it has been the seat of every central political authority.
Delicious cuisine
From age-old eateries in the by lanes of the Walled City to glitzy, specialty restaurants in five-star hotels, Delhi is
a foodie's paradise. Delhi offers a choice of Indian and International Cuisines in different ambiences to suit
varied budgets.
As India's national capital and centuries old Mughal capital, Delhi influenced the food habits of its residents and
is where Mughlai cuisine originated. Along with Indian cuisine, a variety of international cuisines are popular
among the residents. The dearth of food habits among the city's residents created a unique style of cooking
which became popular throughout the world, with dishes such as kebab, biryani, tandoori. The city's classic
dishes include butter chicken, aloo chaat, chaat, dahivada, kachori, cholebhature, jalebi and lassi.
st1 Global Conference ofBiological Psychiatry, India, 2014
The fast living habits of Delhi's people has motivated the growth of street food outlets. A trend of dining at
local dhabas is popular among the residents. High profile restaurants have gained popularity in recent years,
among the popular restaurants are the Karim Hotel, the Punjab Grill and Bukhara. The Gali Paranthe Wali (the
street of fried bread) is a street in Chandni Chowk particularly for food eateries since the 1870s. Almost the
entire street is occupied by fast food stalls or street vendors. It has nearly become a tradition that almost every
prime minister of India has visited the street to eat paratha at least once. However, other Indian cuisines are
also available.
