What sets it apart is the multitude of historic ruins that are a part of the city's landscape. Delhi holds an embarrassment of riches in the form of countless little-known, seldom-visited, largely unheard-of tombs, nameless pavilions, mosques, madarsas, pleasure gardens, baolis, cemeteries, and much else. Neophyte New Delhi has been quick to discard most of them on the rubbish heap of history, choosing to validate a bare minimum with a name, an identity and a place of visibility.Where it was possible to make the law look the other way, many of these monuments were razed to the ground to make way for development. In this book, Rakshanda Jalil highlights these forgotten monuments, whose histories are peppered with anecdotes, making for a delightful read for history-lovers, visitors to Delhi, and indeed, residents of the city as well.
