Ber Sarai is a small neighborhood located between Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and the IIT Delhi area in the Southwest of New Delhi, India.
The closest road is an undivided wide road that forms the link between the Outer Ring Road and other areas of Outer Delhi such as Vasant Kunj. As this road forms a conduit, it sees heavy vehicular traffic in both directions. Within a 5 mile radius lie such places as NCERT, Munirka, Ram Krishna Puram, Jiya Sarai, Yusuf Sarai, Hauz Khas, Safdurjung Enclave, Malviya Nagar, Green Park, DLTA and Vasant Vihar. It is approximately 45 minutes by car from the Indira Gandhi International Airport.
Overview [link]
The neighborhood actually has two distinct portions: Ber Sarai Village and Ber Sarai Delhi Development Authority (DDA) Flats. The village, which is much larger in area, is the home of wealthy Jats (and several poorer families as well) that own most of the land and also own and operate some private buses on the roads of Delhi. The DDA Flats house middle class families. The village shares a wall with the hostel area of IIT Delhi and is, in present form, a dense collection of houses mixed with shops.
Electoral details [link]
The Ber Sarai neighborhood comes in the "Outer Delhi" electoral constituency of Delhi. This constituency has been the battleground of two candidates over the years: Sajjan Kumar of Congress (I) and Sahib Singh Verma of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

This is one of great hubs for competitive exam preparation.

Über
Über (German pronunciation: [ˈyːbɐ], sometimes written uber /ˈuːbər/) in English language publications, is a German language word meaning "over", "above" or "across". It is an etymological twin with German ober, and is cognate (through Proto-Germanic) with English over, Dutch over and Icelandic yfir, among other Germanic languages. It is also distantly cognate to both Latin super and Greek ὑπέρ (hyper), through Proto-Indo-European. It is relatively well-known within Anglophone communities due to its occasional use as a hyphenated prefix in informal English, usually for emphasis. The German word is properly spelled with an umlaut, while the spelling of the English loanword varies.
In German
In German, über is a preposition, as well as being used as a prefix. Both uses indicate a state or action involving increased elevation or quantity in the physical sense, or superiority or excess in the abstract.
As a preposition, über's meaning depends on its context. For example, über etwas sprechen – to speak about something, über die Brücke – across the bridge.

Sarai (city)
Sarai (also transcribed as Saraj or Saray) was the name of two cities, which were successively capital cities of the Golden Horde, the Mongol kingdom which ruled much of Central Asia and part of Eastern Europe, in the 13th and 14th centuries. Located in present-day Russia, they were among the largest cities of the medieval world, with a population estimated by the 2005 Britannica at 600,000.
Sarai is Persian for "palace". There is also a variation meaning home (Saraa), similar to Sarajevo in the Balkan peninsula.
Old Sarai
"Old Sarai", or "Sarai Batu" or "Sarai-al-Maqrus" (al-Maqrus is Arabic for "the blessed") was established by Mongol ruler Batu Khan in the mid-1240s, on a site east of the Akhtuba river, near to the modern village of Selitrennoye.
This site was most probably located on the Akhtuba River, a channel of the lower Volga River, near the contemporary village of Selitrennoye in Kharabali District, Astrakhan Oblast, Russia, about 120 km north from Astrakhan.
Sarai was the seat of Batu and his successor Berke. Under them Sarai was the capital of a great empire. The various Rus' princes came to Sarai to pledge allegiance to the Khan and receive his patent of authority (yarlyk).
