Summary, etc New Delhi was born at two o’clock on 12 December 1911, as King George V proclaimed it to be India’s new capital at his grand Coronation Durbar. New Delhi: Making of a Capital pieces together the story of the eighth reincarnation of this historic city. Breaking new ground, this book showcases century-old telegrams, maps, plans, drawings, letters, and scraps of paper; the Agreement that the chief architects – Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker – signed together; the sharp arguments the two had on key architectural issues; and a lot more. Numerous newspaper reports, articles, and editorials about the extravagant city, including vigorous debates in the House of Lords have been featured here for the first time.<br/><br/>Exclusive pictures of the earliest stages of levelling the massive Raisina Hill are followed by the blockby- block construction of what are today the Rashtrapati Bhavan (initially known as Government House), the Parliament House (known as Council House), and North and South Block (or the Secretariat buildings). A range of aerial shots capture the growth of the new city from a barren landscape into a bustling metropolis.<br/><br/>This pathbreaking work is an amalgamation of fragments of history, recreating the era of struggle, disquiet, and passion in which this great urban centre was built. New Delhi: Making of a Capital traverses between that formative age and the turbulent present bringing history to you from long-forgotten, dusty shelves.
