In this episode of the Postcards Podcast, we journey through Delhi not simply as a city, but as a living archive shaped by memory, migration, power, and everyday life.The conversation with historian Dr. Swapna Liddle traces Delhi through its many layered histories, from Shahjahanabad and colonial New Delhi to the city’s contemporary questions of heritage, belonging, and transformation. We reflect on how monuments, neighbourhoods, maps, and forgotten stories continue to shape the way Delhi is lived and understood.We also explore the politics of conservation, the tensions between preservation and redevelopment, and how culture survives through food, language, music, and public memory. The episode further opens up questions of inclusion and exclusion, asking how women, queer communities, and marginalised groups experience the city differently, and what it means to truly belong to a place that is always changing.This episode invites listeners to see Delhi not as a fixed past, but as a city constantly rewritten through memory, access, and imagination.📍 Recording Date: 29th November📌 Don’t miss this episode!
