Summary: During the years 1803-1857, Delhi witnessed political, social and religious developments and trajectories. It was an era well known for intellectual and cultural efflorescence, possible only during a period of relative peace and tranquility. The storm clouds were far away, yet there were inklings of the impending upheaval and tumult. The books attempt to capture this essence by analysing the historical records of this period, and by viewing the situation from different perspectives, from the Qila-i-Mualla as well as the Delhi residency, from the intelligentsia as well as the missionaries.
