New Delhi hopes the Commonwealth Games, in which 71 former British colonies compete, will bring the global limelight that the Olympics brought to Beijing last year. It mirrors Indias growing ambition to transform its cramped capital of 14 million people into a 21st century super-city that can hope to host future Grand Prix and Olympics.
