Delhi India in one city

Delhi is the heart of India. It embodies centuries of life and living, of changing cityscapes and fine architectural masterpieces that draw together ancient fortresses, medieval cities and a metropolis that has, without hesitation, embraced the diverse, multilayered and dynamic reality of India and all Indians. This book walks you through some of the symbols that compel Delhi to stand apart, showcasing an old civilization and more importantly, an energetic, creative and entrepreneurial young nation grappling with the excitement of constant re-invention, of change. Delhi has the best of all worlds within her open borders, from the ancient past to the vibrant present and Dilliwallahs are an engaging lot, proud of their epic legacy, raring to keep the ethos of change alive. Text is rendered by Malvika Singh and the photo editing by Uday Sahay. The book is further enriched by valuable contributions from William Dalrymple and Pavan K. Varma. Foreword to the volume is penned by none other than Sheila Dikshit, a foremost Delhite and the current Chief Minister of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. The stunning photographs spread all over the book are a rich mix of carefully chosen and specially commission ones, involving dozens of creative individuals and renowned institutions.
