Description

            Amaravathi, whose capital presents detailed information on capital cities in various countries across the world. It has narrated various aspects behind the selection of sites to locate capital cities. It has given detailed account of several capital cities, the reasons behind their location, taking into consideration economic, cultural, ethnic, and regional aspects. It has explained the reasons for locating calcutta, Delhi as capitals in India during British era. It provides information on new capital cities such as Chandigarh, Gandhi Nagar, Bhubaneswar and Naya Rayapur, about the Architects and special features of designs, etc. Coming to the new capital city for A.P. after partition, Sri Krishna Rao as CCLA as well as Chief Secretary to Govt. lands to locate capital city for Navyandra Pradesh. Some people have found fault with Sri I.Y.R. Krishna Rao on his view regarding suitability of Donakonda in Prakasam District for locating capital there or near Nuzvidu in Krishna District. 

               This book will be of great help not only to the students of history but also to the general public. I wish the Telugu version of this book will come soon which will provide much information on Amaravathi the capital to the common man in A.P. The efforts of Sri I.Y.R. Krishna Rao in bringing out this book are highly commendable.
