Three stories, contained under the broad heading of 'The Walls of Delhi', tell tales of the contemporary India through the lives of three different characters. In the first story, the author writes about the time in the life of a street sweeper who stumbles upon quick money from the black market. He decides to use this money to relish the beauty of the Taj Mahal and takes along with himself his mistress, a minor by age. The second story, titled 'Mohandas', an untouchable Dalit is seen fighting an identity crisis when someone from the upper-caste steals his identity. 'Magosil' is the third story in the book that makes an account of the mysterious baby whose head grew bigger in size as his wits sharpened beyond normalcy. The family of the child frantically sought a cure for the baby who got smarter with the increasing bulge of his head. Stringing three stories revolving around three different people together, Uday Prakash has kept the heart of the book in modern India. Highlighted with social satire, dark comedy, the plight of Indians today and the challenges people face here, 'The Walls of Delhi' is a fictitious book about the truth of survival in India.
