The events of 1857 were a dramatic break in the life of Delhi and of its most celebrated poet, Ghalib. Although Delhi had seen many vicissitudes of fortune through its chequered history, each new incarnation was simply an added layer connecting seamlessly with the past. By 1857, the Mughal empire was on its last legs, the writ of the emperor limited merely to the fort area. However, paradoxically, political, economic, and social decline notwithstanding, Delhi continued to bloom culturally. This chapter captures that Delhi of learning and letters, poetry and piety, cultural synthesis and communal amity. It also captures the heartbreak of the city post 1857, so poignantly expressed through Ghalib’s poetry. The aftermath of the revolt left the city and its residents rudderless and lost.
