Timeless Books/TBI Publishers Distributors, 2011. First edition. Hardcover. New. 31 x 26 cm. ‘Sentinels of Raisina Hill‘ follows this tradition, and is the first ever coffee table publication exclusively devoted to the Government of India’s Secretariat buildings – the North and South Blocks, as they are better known. It comes at a time when New Delhi completes hundred years since the British announced the transfer of the capital from Calcutta to Delhi at the Imperial Durbar held in Delhi in December of 1911. Although the siting , construction and architectural features of the Secretariat remain the focus of the book, it traces the historical context in which it evolved and became the culmination of the British architectural and administrative traditions, since the advent of the East India Company. It also examines the political and human drama that gradually unfolded as the buildings rose. Those were tumultuous times for India and the World. The partition of Bengal and its reunification a few years later had set in motion a chain of events which forever changed the history of India and particularly of Delhi. A spate of lively characters –Kings, Viceroys, Ministers, Architects, Soldiers, and Civil Servants come and go as the story progresses, till the buildings themselves literally come alive and join the narration. But the architects always held center stage - Baker and Lutyens – joined together by fate on a dusty hill on the plains of northern India, working uneasily together throughout their Indian sojourn. The book unlike most others which rely on photographs is embellished with high quality black and white sketches that depict the architectural details of both the exteriors and interiors of the buildings. They are supplemented by archival prints of several of the older buildings which housed the offices of the East India Company and later the Government of India. Printed Pages: 144.
