Narayani Gupta explores how political change reshaped not only governance but also the social fabric of Delhi, analysing the interaction between colonial administration, indigenous elites, merchants, artisans, and ordinary residents. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, the book reveals how older institutions adapted—or failed to adapt—to new imperial structures, and how Delhi remained a complex, living city rather than a static relic of past empires.\n             \u003cdiv\u003e\n              \u003cbr\u003e\n             \u003c\/div\u003e\n             A major strength of the work lies in its treatment of urban growth, showing how colonial planning, infrastructure, and demographic shifts altered Delhi's physical and social landscape, culminating in the creation of New Delhi as the imperial capital. First published by Oxford University Press in Delhi in 1981, this is a foundational text in Indian urban and social history, valued for its depth, clarity, and long-term relevance. This book would particularly appeal to historians of South Asia, scholars of colonial urbanism, and readers interested in the social history of cities under imperial rule.\"\n            \u003c\/font\u003e\n           \u003c\/div\u003e\n           \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n            \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n             \u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003c\/font\u003e\n           \u003c\/div\u003e\n           \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n            \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n             Light wear and fading to dustjacket.
