This is a lively history of the fortunes of the city of Delhi first published in 1912. Written in the form of a story it traces the inception of the city and its progresses under various dynasties. Prefaced by a short mythological sketch of the city, the narrative begins with the invasion of Ghazni from ad 1000 and since then, how Delhi was the centre of a succession of mighty empires and powerful kingdoms. Due to its strategic location the successive rulers made Delhi its capital – the Delhi Sultanate, the Tughlak kings, the Lodis, the Mughals. The book takes us through the brief history of these dynasties.
An engaging narrative retraces Delhi’s journey from its mythic birth to a dynamic political center. Traversing from the Ghazni invasion to influential epochs under the Delhi Sultanate, Tughlak kings, Lodis and Mughals, the story reveals how strategic power and heritage shaped this storied metropolis.
