Dreaming a Paradise, written by the photographer and documentary filmmaker Chitvan Gill, takes us deep into the heart of Buland Masjid, an unauthorised settlement on the banks of the river Yamuna in Delhi. Through richly detailed text and photographs, Gill shows us a community that, despite being overlooked and walled off from the city’s wealth, thrives with energy and enterprise. The book unfolds like a guided walk through the narrow lanes of Buland Masjid.
