| Summary, etc | The growth and development of the city of Shahjahanabad reflected a dynamic process of social and economic transformation where the planned expansion of the capital city played a significant role for the first time in the seventeenth century. It was in Shahjahanabad that one could discern the process of establishment of markets as a social space, where each category of the market carried out a specialized socio-economic function through which it integrated itself with the more prominent politico-administrative structures of the Empire and became an integral part of an urban development process that gave distinct identity to the city and established a benchmark to be followed and emulated from hereon in the other subas (provinces). In planning the city, the Mughal Emperor ensured the creation of common open and semi-covered public spaces that included bazaars as commercial spaces apart from gardens, religious monuments and dargahs (sufi shrine). Retail space reflected the maturity of market relations as they became the centres of social interaction. People belonging to heterogeneous cultural groups came together to exchange commodities and capital and live in the vicinity, giving the bazaars a distinctive socio-cultural shape and structure that added a new chapter in the history of Delhi. This established an intangible web of growth and development in the city's internal dynamics that later assisted in evolving a distinct Delhi culture based on new patterns of social interactions, structures and ideologies. – Reproduced https://purjss.puchd.ac.in/issues/2021/purjss-vol29-3-2021.pdf |
