He had no intention of staying for long. But the city beguiled him-he 'fell in love and in hate with it'-and, fourteen years later, Delhi has become his home.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCapital \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of Delhi's journey from walled city to world city. It is a story of extreme wealth and power, of land grabs and a cityscape changed almost beyond recognition. Everything that was slow, intimate and idiosyncratic has become fast, vast and generic; every aspect of life has been affected-for the poor, the middle classes and the super-rich.\u003cbr\u003e Through a series of fascinating personal encounters Dasgupta takes us inside the intoxicating, sometimes terrifying transformation of India's fastest-growing megacity, offering an astonishing 'report from the global future'.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48150305341598,"sku":"UBD-9781922079312","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922079312.jpg?v=1786963986","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922079312","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
