"Dilli Abhi Door Hai" (Template:Langx, Template:Langx)[1] is a Hindi-Urdu phrase from Template:Langx, 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 may be 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
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
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]
