Author's INTRODUCTION: POSSIBLY no other city in India is approached by newcomers with such mixed feelings as is Lucknow, the old royal capital of the brief line of Oudh sovereigns. Nor does familiarity ever succeed in entirely obliterating this first impression. To men and women of the British Isles, Lucknow is pre-eminently a place hallowed by memories at once terrible and heroic. Unbiased by special sentiment of the kind, Westerners in general regard it with curiosity as the scene of a grim struggle, wherein the swords of a few brave men transformed what had threatened irreparable disaster, into a great national triumph. Whether viewed in the tender light of sentiment, or the clear cold scrutiny of criticism, Lucknow cannot fail, but interest and attract. As the centre of modern Mussulman culture in India, it makes special appeal to those whose sympathies are intellectually inclined. The historian will find food for reflection in the city founded by Lakshmana, brother of the semi-divine Rama, King of Ayodhia (Oudh), colonized by followers of the dread Mahmud of Ghazni, converted into a capital under the Moghuls, and finally annexed to the British Empire in 1858. Lovers of splendour will appreciate the palaces, Imambaras, Maqbaras and Masjids built by the prodigal kings of Oudh, while critics can criticise to their hearts' content, strengthened and encouraged by the comfortable conviction that, in so doing, they are treading in the footsteps of such eminent authorities as Fergusson and Burgess. Apart from historical, intellectual, archeological and architectural considerations, Lucknow has a fourth side. Seen from the last it impresses as a gay and prosperous modern city, rich in handsome shops, schools and public institutions of every kind. Nevertheless, a turn down one of tlie narrow, tortuous streets in the Chauk, speedily brings the seeker into the hidden heart of the East, as revealed in the bazaar. In this little guide-book it is not my purpose to criticise, or draw comparisons, but rather to pass in rapid review those famous places, which have figured most prominently in the strange and varied history of the capital of Oudh.

In 1528 the Mughal Sultanate conquered and formally incorporated Awadh as one of its constituent provinces. With the decline of Mughal power the nawab-vazirs of Awadh began to assert their independence. After the East India Company appropriated half of Awadh as 'indenmity', the then nawab, Asaf'ud Daulah, moved his capital to Lucknow in 1775. A move that resulted in the growth of the city and its distinctive culture known as'Lakhnavi tehzeeb'. Since then, nawabi Lucknow has undergone enormous changes. The refinement of 'pehle aap' has all but disappeared. Originally built to support a hundred thousand people, amid palaces, gardens and orchards, the city now staggers under the burden of fifty times that number. Its unchecked growth and collapsed civic amenities are slowly draining the life and beauty of this once vibrant city. The rich and flamboyant culture has faded amidst the decay that has eaten into the fabric of the city and the corruption and treachery that permeate the government. In separate pieces William Dalrymple and Barry Bearak trace the decline of Lucknow---the city, its architecture, people, politics, governance---and the sad end of the havelis and their once grandiose occupants. The elegiac Marsia tradition of the Shias strives to be heard over angry chants of 'Hulla Bol' of political rallies in Mrinal Pande's account of her visit to the city. And, in his hyperbolic saga of seven generations of the fictional Anglo-Indian Trotter family, I. Allan Sealy meanders through two hundred years of Lucknow's chequered history. However, despite the apparent disintegration, Lucknow's ineffable spirit can still be found---in the tantalizing flavours of Lakhnavi cuisine; the delicate artistry of chikankari; the legendary courtesans and the defiant voice of the rekhti; the melodious notes of the ghazaI and the thumri ... Engaging and thoughtful, Shaam-e-Awadh: Writings on Lucknow celebrates the unique character of this city of carnivals and calamities.
