“Book Descriptions: This is a chronicle of the author’s personal memories of the ancient capital of India and its notable personalities extending over a period of about 90 years—from 1857 to 1947. He had been an eye-witness to the glory, grandeur, and glamour of a good deal of this period. Through the magic of his pen, the author has been able to bring back to life glimpses of a culture and a way of life which is now lost forever. About the Author / Editor Syed Mohammad Irtiza Wahidi (1888-1976) popularly known as Mullah Wahidi was one of the most respected personalities of Delhi. A distinguished Urdu writer, he also founded and edited a number of literary and cultural journals. His vastly circulated magazine Nizamu-ul-Mashaikh continued to be published from Delhi for years and for some time from Karachi after he migrated to Pakistan. Mullah Wahidi was close to most of his contemporaries and was best known as a friend, confidante and companion of Khawaja Hasan Nizami (1878-1955), a prominent sufi writer, prose stylist and the caretaker of the Dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia, one of India's most revered Muslim saints. Author of several books on religion, theology and sufism, Mullah Wahidi's knowledge of sufism and mystics of various orders was almost unparalleled.” DRIVE
