There is an Agra beyond the coffee table book and the tourist brochure waiting to be discovered. This anthology of Thomas Smith’s writing attempts to set the reader off on that journey of discovery. Smith’s writings, deftly organized and introduced by Shailaja Kathuria, provide a fresh perspective on the familiar and also help us experience an Agra that we did not know existed.

Thomas Smith was a scholar, historian and a journalist who wrote extensively about the city of Agra and its monuments between 1930 and 1935. Shailaja Kathuria is a historian whose specialization is Agra.
