The book is an attempt to treat the history of Delhi, from the Primitive past of Kauravas and the Pandavas about 1000 BC to the last mughal of Delhi, Bahadur Shah Jafar. He also gives the brief details of the battles fought on this land and how it became the most prestigious possession of the rulers in their time. The book also gives us the brief description of all those who took the road to Delhi. Some came there only for the purpose of spoil and plunder and others came because it had been proved many a time that he who was the master of Delhi could be master of all Hindustan.
