Book Summary
Many Delhiites are surprised to learn that the language of their city's cultural heyday was Persian. Despite first being brought to India by invaders, it eventually became an authentically Indian language used in both administration and literature. Although it was cultivated by an elite, it was also a widely available language of aspiration and opportunity, like English today. It connected India to the wider world and the Indian Subcontinent, particularly Delhi, was once a place where talented poets and scholars from the whole Persian cultural world from Turkey to eastern China came to make their fortunes. Its traces remain everywhere but Persian is effectively a dead language in India today.
