A review by goel_1996
City of Djinns by Olivia Fraser, William Dalrymple

4.0

Just loved it.

Delhi is one of the metro city in world with such rich history and culture.
While reading it felt like I was back in my school days when reading about dynasties was so much fun. It is really fascinating to know about our ancestors, their culture, beliefs, ceremonies, architecture, politics and war.
Delhi's history is even more fascinating because it has been ruled by Hindus, Muslims and Britishers.

Living in Delhi people don't realize there are still traces of History, lying in plain sight. William goes through a arduous journey to find them.

It is sad to know Indian archaeologist are not getting necessary financial aid to conduct their research.
