Mughal Delhi still leaves fingerprints on the modern file — the Emperor bench running twenty times the baseline is Bahadur Shah Zafar and his predecessors, the last living memory of the city Shah Jahan built around the Red Fort. Layered on top is the post-Independence capital of TV soaps and IPL dressing rooms, where an equally outsized Cricket cohort and a thick Actor line meet a quietly strange Wrestler count out of the akhara tradition in the old city.
