"Celestial Delhi": Anthropological Gazes at a Mega-Polis in Transition

"Celestial Delhi": Anthropological Gazes at a Mega-Polis in Transition" by Dr Ronie Parciack is a book that offers a personal view of the Indian capital, a city whose glorious histories meet a turbulent present. The book moves through the labyrinths of alleys in the city, penetrating the interiors of houses, overlooking the roofs of temples and mosques and revealing the power relations embodied in the architecture, urban rhythms and lifestyles of modern India.

In this special literary event Dr Parciack will discuss the book and her enduring relationship with Delhi.
