Focusing on five medieval monuments in Delhi, the book explores their modern histories from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. Mrinalini Rajagopalan examines how colonial and postcolonial states shaped these narratives, often obscuring the emotional connections various communities have with these sites. By juxtaposing archival records with affective histories, the author redefines monuments as dynamic cultural entities that embody multiple interpretations rather than fixed representations of the past.
