The millennium book on New Delhi

When the foundation stone for New Delhi was laid in 1911, it was planned as a seat of colonial power. In the last 50 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 more than a thousand years. This book is intended for historians, and general readers.
