The capital city seen through the eyes of a veteran photographer, Dhruva N Chaudhuri(Son of Late Sh. Nirad C. Chaudhuri). Its changing colours are captured in this exclusive publication in shades of black and white. Delhi' s myriad lights are projected in these pages. Its shadows, too, are highlighted here. This is Dhruva' s Delhi, right from the train journey that brought him and his family here in 1942, his early days in Old Delhi, days of kite flying and visiting monuments, of studying at Delhi University, to the dramatic moments leading to Partition. India's independence and much more. Delhi: Light, Shades, Shadows is published by Niyogi Books who bring its expertise to a book that could well be called a collector's item, in every sense of the term.
