Description: Building Histories : The Archival and Affective Lives of Five Monuments in Modern Delhi, Hardcover by Rajagopalan, Mrinalini, ISBN 022628347X, ISBN-13 9780226283470, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Focusing on five Islamic monuments in Delhi, this study shows how their modern history was carefully created by both the colonial and the later postcolonial states. Although framed as objective ?archival” truths, these histories were meant to erase or marginalize powerful and persistent affective appropriations of the monuments by groups who often existed outside the center of power. Each chapter traces the multiple modern histories of a single monument from the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth century. The monuments are the Red Fort; the Sufi shrine Rasul Numa Dargah; the Jama Masjid; the Purana Qila; and the Qutb Complex.
