C.S.H. Jhabvala, a renowned architect, is also a remarkably gifted artist. His unrivalled knowledge of Delhi’s history is evident in this book, as is his eye for the city’s quirky corners, its chaos and colour. For his Delhi is a city not just of palaces, mosques and tombs, but also of obscure streets and squares, of overgrown gardens, crumbling bungalows and urban villages. Successive dynasties, rulers and epochs have created their own Delhis, and though much has been demolished, uprooted or hemmed in by new constructions in the process, the remains of all these different Delhis still survive. In his wanderings around Delhi, the author has stumbled upon them, and recorded his discoverie...

New Delhi was the grandest planned capital city of the British empire. In its meticulous urban plan it owed as much to earlier imperial traditions of Delhi as it did to Western movements such as the Garden City and City Beautiful. It is interesting to examine the process by which this plan came into being, and the interactions between the people responsible for it. This new city also became the centre of a culture at the cusp of Indian and British Indian society - centering on the shopping precinct of Connaught Place, restaurants, clubs, cinema theatres and other institutions. In the years immediately following independence and partition, came a sudden expansion of the metropolis beyond the limits of New Delhi. This left the original New Delhi as a predominantly administrative centre, with a low density of population, and an oasis of green. Far from being a sterile space however, its many cultural institutions, public spaces and thriving shopping precincts have given it a persisting vibrancy.

Delhi, located at the crossroads of history, has been occupied, abandoned and rebuilt over the centuries. It has been the capital of the Pandavas, the Rajputs, Central Asian dynasties, the Mughals and the British, and is best described as a melting pot of these vastly varying traditions and customs. A galaxy of experts come together to offer fresh perspectives on the capital city. Originally part of The Sir Sobha Singh Memorial Lecture series organized by The Attic in collaboration with the India International Centre and the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage, this updated selection explores Delhi’s living syncretic heritage.
