Ahmedabad becomes India's first World Heritage City
Ahmedabad has become India's first World Heritage City after the UNESCO World Heritage Committee accepted the country's official entry at a meeting in Poland on Saturday. Nearly 20 nations supported its entry, citing its architecture and secular co-existence of Jain, Islamic, and Hindu communities. Delhi and Mumbai were also shortlisted, but the Centre chose Ahmedabad as India's entry in 2016.
