| Abstract | "Dilli ki Khoj is an anecdotal history of Delhi and its monuments by Sh. Brij Kishan Chandiwala, an eminent Gandhian. The volume was published in Hindi by the Publications Division of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry in 1964 and has been out of print for many years. This English translation of Dilli ki Khoj revives an out-of-print classic and makes it more accessible to a global audience. The book touches upon Delhi's long history; explores its monuments built from the ancient times till the early 1960s; and provides detailed records of all of Gandhi's visits to Delhi. It also traces significant epochs in Indian history and the rise of a national identity. Further, the Afterword by Narayani Gupta brings to life Delhi as seen by the post-independence era citizens, which highlights book's relevance with piquancy and verve. The volume spans the genres of journalism, architecture, history, mythology, area studies, and will be of special interest to historiographers, especially in the contemporary context"-- Provided by publisher. |
