Interrupting the Archive: Indigenous Voices and Colonial Hegemony
This chapter overturns colonial rhetoric regarding illiterate Indians who were lethargic about preserving their built heritage. Instead it shows the passionate claims and histories presented by a local community to save a small Sufi shrine, the Rasul Numa Dargah, from British expropriation and possible demolition during the building of New Delhi.
Keywords: Rasul Numa Dargah, Pir Banbasi’s dargah, Sufi shrines, New Delhi, land acquisition, Edwin Lutyens, seven cities of Delhi
