Description
|
|
|
|
Founded at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, and serving for centuries as a spiritual metropolis for devout Hindus before becoming a strategic bastion of Mughal power and then a center for the British during the Raj, Allahabad possesses a unique multicultural character among Indian cities. This book collects 13 essays on different aspects of Allahabad's history, culture, and politics, each written by a current or former resident of some renown, illustrated with vibrant color photos.
