The National Capital Region of Delhi is a diverse and unequal
space. Its more than 30 million people are sharply differentiated
by economic class, religion and caste, education, language, and
migration status. Its 45,000 square kilometres is a tapestry of
spaces - ghettoes, slums, enclaves, institutional areas, planned
and unplanned and authorized and unauthorized colonies, forests and
agricultural fields. In some ways it is a dynamic society aspiring
to global city grandeur; in other ways it is a bastion of
tradition, sectarianism and hierarchy. Colossus details these
realities and paradoxes under three themes: social change,
community and state, and inequality. From the material condition of
the metropolis - its housing, services, crime and pollution - to
its social organization - of who marries whom, who eats with whom,
and who votes for whom - this book unpacks the complex reality of a
metropolitan region that is emblematic of India's aspirations and
contradictions.
