City of My Heart | Rana Safvi

1 post | 1 read

In September 1857, the Indian way of life changed forever, after the overnight downfall of the Mughal Dynasty, with the capture and exile of Bahadur Shah Zafar. This book, translated by Safvi, presents translations of four texts that talk about Dilli (today Delhi) on the eve of the downfall and the fate of royalty following the uprising of 1857. Invoking nostalgia chronicling both beauty and hardships, it is a gemstone to understand exactly how the royal household functioned and how it ceased to be.

This book brought nostalgia and feelings with it. I've always been a fan of Indian historical fiction, especially of this era and I simply loved it. Really happy to have come across this text. Would love to see if anyone else has read it.🤭
