Publisher's Synopsis
Delhi was made and razed several times. It was plundered by Timur Lang, Nadir Shah and Ahmedshah Abdali. But it resurrected itself each time, and with redoubled vigour. Then came the Sultans, followed by the Mughals who gave it stunning mosques, aweinspiring monuments and gardens. The British arrived soon after and Delhi remained their capital for thirtysix years, until India became independent. Dilli O Dilli takes you on a walk through the many Delhis of the past to the Delhi that we know today
