Chronicle Concering Books Delhi

"I return to Delhi as I return to my mistress Bhagmati when I have had my fill of whoring in foreign lands."

Thus begins Khushwant Singh's vast, erotic, irrelevant magnum opus on the city of Delhi. The principal narrator of the saga, which extends over six hundred years, is a bawdy, ageing reprobate who loves Delhi as much as he does the hijra whore Bhagmati - half man, half woman with sexual inventiveness and energy of both the sexes. Travelling through time, space and history to 'discover' his beloved city, the narrator meets a myriad of people-poets and princes, saints and sultans, temptresses and traitors, emperors and eunuchs - who have shaped and endowed Delhi with its very special mystique And as we accompany the narrator on his epic journey we find the city of emperors transformed and immortalized in our minds for ever.

Evaluation Regarding Books Delhi

Caution: only those who love Kushwant and history will appreciate this novel. This book is definitely one of the best among the books penned by K'singh. He's has put several hundred years history of Delhi by way of short stories in this book with a little pinch of sex (in fact a lot) and you cant help but feel that the narrator is none other than K'singh himself. Its been more than a year since i read this novel but still I cherish those days i spent reading this book. My all time favourite of

This book i may not tell it is a axcellent one, But it stands out with its different kind of narration. How the present delhi is how the past was. I was always fascinated about the indian history especially about the mughal empire and sort of. He narrates the story from each persons perspective. We will get a good knowledge about indian history and it is really interesting to read because of khushwanth singhs narrational style. There were some part which described how he seduced womens and

When I wanted to read a book on Indian History, someone had recommended this book. But I am sure there are better books on the subject than this. Because, of history, I am not sure. But Sex and Death you will get in plenty in Khushwant Singhs Delhi: A Novel. In fact, you get a much better account of what transpired in Delhi and transformed it to its current condition, in William Dalrymples Kohinoor.The Plot:Delhi and Bhagmati; the transsexual whore, form the core of this book. The author

Some day I will write a similar book about my beloved city. I promise. Don't ask which city. But I will ;)

A bloody history of Delhi. I wish I had read a general Indian history book before this because a lot of it went over my head and so it took me a while to get through it. It was funny in parts, horrific in others. The end was so sudden. It almost felt like an entirely different book about halfway through, and not one I was particularly blown away by. But good, concise writing, with main characters I didn't exactly love but who came off the page anyway. Might come back to certain chapters when my

"News of the present that is censured and archived to build perceptions of the future generations about the past, is documented history. More often than not, these are stories and events which are highlighted by those in power with vested interests and documented by their cronies to build a perception that may not include that of the common man.""Delhi - a novel" is history through tales of the common man. This was my first Kushwant Singh book. Having always been an ardent fan of the

I found the historical accounts in the book to be really interesting; the accounts of POV characters like Timur, Aurangzeb, Bahadur Shah Zafar and other fictional citizens from various periods between 13th century and 20th century presents different views on the historical events.It presents the history of Delhi in a different light. The accounts are interlaced with couplets and poems.The narrative by the author is a bit drab. Be warned about superfluous description of sex in almost every
