Capital: A Portrait of Twenty-First Century Delhi captures the dramatic transformation of India’s capital through the stories of its residents. Rana Dasgupta explores how wealth, globalisation and ambition have reshaped the city while deepening inequality and social division. Blending vivid reportage with history and political insight, he reveals the human consequences of Delhi’s rapid growth. It is a compelling and often unsettling portrait of a city—and a country—in transition.
