This book is not intended to provide a historical account of Delhi or even the sequence of various events that have influenced its development. It is more the ideas that have formed Delhi. Ideas about how Delhi has been imagined by those who have determined its pattern of urbanization. These ideas have often been revealed in the projected images of the city through literature, that has appeared almost continually in one form or the other in its history is the one linked to imaging it as a capital city. This idea has been linked not only to the pragmatic reasons of portraying power through its layout and architecture but has also been linked to more abstract ideals about placing this city as a symbol of power in a paradise garden and later in British times, in a garden. Inevitably, ideas when they get implemented undergo change and in many cases remain ideas, their attempts at implementation and their suspension, and also cover the post-independence era characterized by the inevitable urban disorder when a greater idea is missing.
