The question that one must ask oneself (and to us) at this juncture is that, who then, does the city belong to? Whose history (or histories) are correct? We may not be able to answer the latter in the same binary form it is put forward, for history is neither black or white: it is mostly gray, although, the methods of reaching this gray area can be clearly classified as black and white. This is precisely why the unsubstantiated idea of equating Delhi with Indraprastha is at best fictional, since it does not have much basis in actual research-based historiography. As prominent historian Romila Thapar states, it is important for historians of the ancient period to look for assumptions that the epic makes about the past and the society, instead of  looking for historicity in a particular tradition–historians must look for such details instead of treating it as a factual account of events.
