For the media it is the city that makes headlines often for the wrong reasons -- brawls in pubs crimes against women dubious real estate transactions mega traffic jams.
But Gurgaon's existence began as an obscure hamlet and it has had several hoary incarnations before it acquired its present density industry wealth and civic fabric. It is this tangled tale more thematic than chronological that this book tells.
Veena Talwar Oldenburg has been witness to Gurgaon's astonishing evolution for over twenty years. This volume is the first ever rigorously researched narrative of the city's making that speaks to readers of modern history audiences compelled by Gurgaon's bewildering growth and the very people who made it their home - now and for generations to come. >GurgaonOldenburg Veena TalwarHarperCollins9789353020347
