I have lived in Patna all my life but I did not know many of the interesting facts and stories about it that this book presents. It gives a glimpse of the history of the city in a very nice and conversational manner.

There are articles on how Patna was in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, about its people in those days, their festivals, the British administrators who lived here and many other travellers who came to the city. You get to learn how the city has transformed over the last 300-400 years. There are articles on many different topics and the articles are short and mostly easy to read. You can pick it up anytime to read a few articles from here and there and then come back to it whenever you want to. I finished it in just three days.

Patna: Khoya Hua Shahar is for everyone who loves Patna, has lived/lives here or wants to know more about how it has become what it is.

Lots of information but said in very small lines or story. Also I feel there was lots of repeated facts that keep coming again and again
