In my quite desultory amblings around Delhi, I have not so much discovered as stumbled upon the remains of all our known kingdoms, some remarkably intact, others a pile of stones and masonry. Every dynasty has left its imprint in the form of tombs, mosques, palaces, forts, hunting lodges, gardens, gateways and of course road patterns scattered throughout the twin cities of Old and New Delhi. I have tried to record, and hopefully to transmit some for the pleasure these ineradicable Delhis have given me, and the surprise of seeing their ancient and not-so-ancient roots still alive and living within the technologies of our modern metropolis.
