People living in Delhi are referred as Delhilites. I came to Delhi about 15 years ago and am settled here.According to a recent report by the Indian Institute of Human Settlement (IIHS), the two largest streams of migration to urban India are from Uttar Pradesh to Delhi and from Bihar to Delhi.
Each of these streams consists of over 3 lakh people. People from Pakistan (mainly Punjab), uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Bengal, Punjab, Sindhis are the countless immigrants who settled in Delhi.
