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 been transformed into a dynamic cosmopolitan capital of an independent and democratic republic seeking to steer its destiny in the new millenium. This book covers all the 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.
