From being a tiny, non-descript village of the
Malwa region in the ancient times, a strife-torn principality under the
tutelage of a Pathan dynasty in the middle ages, to a metropolis with all the
paraphernalia of modern living in post-Independence India—Bhopal has seen it
all. This book, Bhopal is a dedication to its namesake—the ancient city of
Bhopal with its colourful history and equally interesting socio-cultural
milieu, representing, at once, a fine blend of antiquity and modernity. Divided
into two broad sections, this book opens with a comprehensive delineation of
Bhopal’s transformation from an inconspicuous village to its modern avatar of a
state capital through time. It then moves on to provide the readers a glimpse
of the city through the eyes of a traveller who stops to notice all that he
experiences around him about a new city—heritage sites, architectural marvels,
religious centres, bazars, townships, industry, institutions and, of course,
Nature. Discover the heart of Madhya Pradesh, discover Bhopal
