Author Interview with Vikramjit Singh Rooprai - Delhi Heritage Top 10 Baolis | Bookish Santa

This interview being our first interview (apologies for the delay of almost an year in uploading) is very special to us. We met Mr. Vikramjit (courtesy Niyogi Books) for the first time in their office and he has been a brother like figure for us since then. From discussing history and its significance, to marketing ideas for promotion of Bookish Santa, he is always there to guide us in our journey. This book, a part of a series of ten books (his upcoming book is on the forts of Delhi), dives into the forgotten Baolis of Delhi and their cultural and heritage significance. Do you know there are many forgotten Baolis apart from the Agrasen ki Baoli? Do you know what these structures stand for and the architectural marvels they were in the past? Read this amazing book for the rich heritage of these long forgotten structures. Delhi Heritage Top 10 series is a comprehensive guide to Delhi’s heritage icons and architectural gems. The first volume in the series delves into the fascinating history and the great significance of forgotten, subterranean, manmade water structures, commonly known as baolis or stepwells. The book walks us through top ten baolis, with two special mentions. Besides giving a vivid description of the functioning and revival of the baolis, the book also focuses on the social importance of each structure. The work is an outcome of a five-year-long research from various archives, and contains historic as well as modern photographs along with architectural drawings.
