	Jama Masjid, Delhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Masjid-i-Jahan Numa, commonly known as Jama Masjid of Delhi is the principal mosque of Old Delhi in India.
		Masjid-i-Jahan Numa means "the mosque commanding a view of the world", and the name Jama Masjid is a reference to the weekly congregation observed on Friday (the yaum al-jum`a) at the mosque.
		The Jama Masjid's floorplan is very similar to the Moti Masjid at Agra, but the Jama Masjid is the bigger and more imposing of the two.

	Jama Masjid, New Delhi, India - lastminute.com
		For much of its history, Delhi was the centre of power of the various Muslim dynasties that ruled swathes of the subcontinent from the 12th century onwards.
		Modern Delhi is really two cities: Old Delhi, packed into the narrow, filthy streets beneath the Red Fort's imposing walls, and New Delhi, which is its polar opposite, complete with the grandiose Imperial citadel, broad, leafy boulevards and well-spaced bungalows, as laid out by Lutyens and Baker in the 1920s.
		Around New Delhi, particularly in the area known as Transjamuna, across the river from the Old City, are the suburbs and slums that have sprung up to accommodate a population that has increased, more by migration than by natural increment, by 46% between 1991 and 2001 (latest figure available).

	2003: Indian Muslim Statements, The Milli Gazette
		New Delhi, 20 May, 2003: In a letter addressed to Shri Jagmohan, Minister of Culture, the President of the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat, Shri Syed Shahabuddin has objected the move for declaration of Jama Masjid, Delhi by the ASI as a Protected Monument.
		As you may not be aware, the ASI has totally failed in its statutory duty to protect and maintain the hundreds of Masjids which are already under its protection, even those situated in the capital territory of Delhi, under its very nose.
		The real reason for the mismanagement of the Jama Masjid, Delhi, lies in the total abdication of its statutory responsibility by the Delhi Wakf Board which has left the Jama Masjid in the hands of the Bukhari family, perhaps because of its growing political patronage by successive governments and parties in power.
