I am booking a flight from Delhi to Chicago via London with British Airways.

If the first flight gets delayed, would the airline provide me travel on another flight?

Do connecting flights wait for delayed flights?

No, if your first flight is delayed and you won't make it in time to catch your connecting flight, the plane won't wait for you. However, if you're travelling on a through-ticket, the airline must rebook you on their next available flight to your destination, provided that there are seats available.

Is airlines responsible for the connecting flights?

As can be expected, if you are responsible for missing your connecting flight, the airline is not obligated to pay you any compensation. If you ask the airline to assist you with your re-booking, they may oblige. However, they are under no obligation to do so.
