"The trip did not simply provide me with a deeper understanding of the culture and history of Delhi, but it also enhanced what I was already learning in class in ways which I could not imagine. Exploring Delhi’s monuments firsthand offered me a unique lens from which to understand how the political and social fluctuations of colonial and independent India influenced Delhi's physical past."
