Summary:

"When the foundation stone for New Delhi was laid in 1911, it was planned as a seat of colonial power. In the last fifty years, however, it has transformed into the dynamic cosmopolitan capital of an independent and democratic republic. This book covers all those aspects of Delhi that make it a veritable microcosm of India against the unique backdrop of a history dating back to more than a thousand years."--Jacket.
