About this ebook
The book 'Raisina Hill' traces the journey of Shahjahan's new capital of the Mughal Empire, Shahjahanabad built on the bank's of river Yamuna in 1638 to New Delhi, the new capital of British-ruled India. Though there seems no affinity between the 'garden-city' of New Delhi and the seventeenth-century 'Old Delhi', yet when one looks deeper, Shahjahan's city and the British capital were both the result of a passion for building, both imperial in scale and designed to awe. The book unfolds full of surprises as a good treasure-hunt. Hope it will draw lots of Delhiwalas out into the wonderful history with which they are surrounded. More than 170 precious photos are featured in the book. History can ne written & re-written but photos can never be taken again.
