The book is all about Delhi and the Red Fort as he title suggests. Perhaps no other city in the world can boast its legacy as old as of Mahabharat times. From Rajputs. Delhi passed in the hands of rulers and invaders from Afghanistan and Transoxania region. In Mughal's Hindustan, from the times of Shahjahan, Delhi has become the power seat and the Red Fort as never center serving the Mughal Emperors in their governance of the country. The grandeur of Court of Shahjahan spread and surpassed Balkha, Bukhara and Samarkand of those time. Some one said that only fortunate people were able to live in Shahjahanabad. His son Auranhzeb the Alamgir maintained the grand army, Laskar-e-Azim, the largest army at that time in the world. For this Delhi, the often-quoted lines of Zauq were uttered.
