Capital

In Capital, Rana Dasgupta portrays Delhi as it erupts from the economic boom of the 1990s and 2000s. Slums are demolished, malls rise, and the city's transformation reshapes both streets and minds. As migrants arrive from rural India, Delhi brims with hope and inequality. Through vivid voices, Dasgupta captures a city's rebirth - for better and worse - offering a prescient history, a warning and a mirror for our times.
