City of Djinns- this is second book of William Dalrymple …
Before I have read his book Kohinoor and is halfway with new book ‘The Anarchy’.
Last month we have witnessed riot in Delhi , but Delhi was the city which had riots before also. The city which was capital of many ruling elites like pandava’s indraprasta in Mahabharata time,mughals ,British …now capital of our country is place where all the control of realm took place.
This city during rule from peacock throne had witnessed riots and bloody massacres .Nadir Shah , tyrant who took the Kohinoor from Delhi made blood stains and transported the peacock throne is the bloodiest carnage this city witnessed then to the time of partitions where
many had been displaced from their hometown to Pakistan was the massacres where millions lost their life .
1984 riots by Sikh was the massacre which had been witnessed 3decades ago in this city was last in the chain before 2020.
This book was written by author during his one year stay in Delhi for the research gives us account of this city of Djinns-.
Delhi is also city of peers of Sufi like nizamudheen avliya and many mystic and dervish who had been contacted by the Djinns and made use of then.
