“India has always had a strange way with her conquerors. In defeat, she beckons them in, then slowly seduces, assimilates and transforms them.”
― White Mughals: Love and Betrayal in Eighteenth-Century India
― White Mughals: Love and Betrayal in Eighteenth-Century India
“Partition was a total catastrophe for Delhi,’ she said. ‘Those who were left behind are in misery. Those who were uprooted are in misery. The Peace of Delhi is gone. Now it is all gone.”
― City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi
― City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi
“Whoever has built a new city in Delhi has always lost it: the Pandava brethren, Prithviraj Chauhan, Feroz Shah Tughluk, Shah Jehan ... They all built new cities and they all lost them. We were no exception.”
― City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi
