Wow. Looks very interesting. Would have bought the book if I hadent seen the pdf version. Might still, if I like the pdf version. There is no substitute to holding a book in your hands and reading it.

I have this book, the maps and illustrations and photos are all pretty good. The writing though is....peppered with prejudice at best :D Worth one read and many many flipping-throughs for the illustrations.

This is no more near Delhi, but very much part of South Delhi... Bijaymandal fort, Begumpur mosque near IIT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahanpanah
