Book Summary

Where Stones Speak (2015) is a historical travelogue that explores Mehrauli, the first city of Delhi, through its monuments, inscriptions, and legends. Safvi takes readers on a guided journey across centuries—covering Delhi’s Sultanate, Mughal, and later eras—through tombs, mosques, stepwells, and ruins that embody the city’s layered past. The book blends history, architecture, mythology, and personal anecdotes, making Delhi’s heritage come alive. It is both a cultural history and a love letter to the city of Delhi, showing how its stones still “speak” of India’s rich and complex past.
