This book traces the history of Delhi from the stone age to the time of the Rajputs. Against a background of the history of India, it meticulously weaves together evidence from stone tools, ancient mounds, pottery, monuments, sculpture, references in literature and legend to reconstruct a comprehensive and lively historical narrative. Written in a style aimed at accuracy as well as clarity, the book will be of interest to historians, students of history, general readers–in fact anybody who is interested in Delhi’s ancient past. The text is accompanied by several maps and a large number of photographs which bring alive Delhi’s little-known ancient history.
