In Capital, Rana Dasgupta reveals the red-hot city which erupted from Delhi's economic boom in the 1990s and 2000s. Slums were bulldozed, luxury shopping malls erected in their place. The outer transformation, stern and abrupt, reached beyond mortar and into minds. Hundreds of thousands streamed in from rural hinterlands, and the city brimmed with possibility.
In this prescient account of the exultation and disparity that would emerge from India's globalisation, Rana Dasgupta shows us a city's rebirth - for better and worse - through the eyes of its people. Capital is a history, a warning and a looking glass. It is book for our times.
