Delhi

“Delhi is not just a city, it’s a feeling, a reflection of the turmoil, passion, and history that has shaped India.”

In Delhi, Khushwant Singh presents a captivating and evocative portrayal of India’s capital city, capturing both its grandeur and its decay. Through the lens of history, politics, and culture, Singh paints a multi-faceted picture of Delhi, delving deep into the complexities that make it both beautiful and troubled.

The narrative weaves together the stories of past and present, from the city’s rich Mughal heritage to its modern-day challenges. Singh’s Delhi is a place where time seems to blur—where ancient monuments stand alongside new-age structures, and where old traditions clash with the demands of urbanization. Through his vivid descriptions, readers can almost hear the sounds of the bustling streets, feel the weight of its history, and sense the undercurrents of political tension that have shaped this city’s identity.

A central figure in the novel is the character of the narrator, a Delhiite who reflects on his own experiences in the city. His personal musings give way to a broader examination of the social, cultural, and political issues that have always been part of the city’s DNA. Singh brings to light the diversity of Delhi’s population, the inequalities that persist, and the stories that remain hidden beneath its surface.

Delhi is as much a historical account as it is a personal exploration. Singh’s mastery of storytelling ensures that the book is both informative and compelling, offering readers not only a deeper understanding of the city but also a profound reflection on India itself.
