About the Book: Forgotten Cities: Volume 1
The first volume of The Forgotten Cities of Delhi, book two of the Where Stones
Speak series, travels through the forgotten cities of south Delhi—Siri,
Tughlaqabad, Mubarakpur Kotla, Jahanpanah and Firozabad. In her trademark style,
Rana Safvi combines narrative history with Sufi couplets, tracing the rise and
fall of the great Sultanate-era cities that once defined Delhis southern
horizon. From ancient fortifications to magnificent tombs, these stones carry
stories of dynasties that shaped the citys earliest medieval identity.
