About the Book
Delhi: A Novel by Khushwant Singh is a bold and immersive journey into the heart of one of the world’s most storied cities. Told through the eyes of an aging, irreverent narrator, the novel spans six centuries of Delhi's history, combining eroticism, humor, and deep cultural insights. The narrator, a bawdy and provocative figure, expresses his deep love for the city and his mistress, Bhagmati, a hijda whore who embodies both male and female energy, challenging the boundaries of gender and sexuality.
As the story unfolds, the reader is transported through time, encountering a vast array of characters — from poets and emperors to saints, traitors, and eunuchs — each contributing to the rich tapestry of Delhi's mystique. With each chapter, Singh uncovers the layers of the city’s evolution, its power, and its people. Delhi: A Novel is a visceral exploration of love, history, and identity, offering a distinctive and unforgettable portrait of the city and its complexities.
