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 Delhi's southern horizon. From ancient fortifications to magnificent tombs, these stones carry stories of dynasties that shaped the city's earliest medieval identity.
