Revisiting the Political History of Delhi in Khushwant Singh’s Delhi: A Novel

Gopal Verma, Ph.D. Scholar

Composed of Different Narratives

Delhi: A Novel has been composed of different narratives holding up a single plot. There is one principal narrator who unites the various episodes from Delhi’s past. It is a collection of ten episodes covering 700 years of Delhi’s history from 1265 A.D. to 1984 A.D. covering all the major incidents that gave Delhi his present shape. Any discourse of Delhi must invoke the narrative mode that builds up the assumptions, cultural moorings, sexual taboos and fetishes.
