Talk:New Delhi

Can New Delhi be used as "Indian government"?

1. • 2004 November 1, Joseph Y.S. Cheng, “Challenges to China's Russian Policy in Early 21st Century”, in Journal of contemporary Asia‎^[1]:

     As Russia accords considerable priority to its strategic partnership with India, it has to reckon with the Indian factor and is therefore subject to pressure from New Delhi in its relations with China.

I think New Delhi is used like that here? 81.68.255.36 20:49, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

That sort of usage is known as "metonymy" or "synecdoche". —Ruakh_TALK 20:58, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
