		Sarai Rohilla was earlier known as Rulhullah ki sarai and was named after Ruhullah Khan, the son of Nawab Khaliullah Khan, a nobleman of the times of Shahjahan and Aurangzeb.
		A sarai was quite often laid out on the outskirts of the city or in the suburbs to help in the movement of human traffic or for storing goods meant to be despatched to other places.
		Though normally sarais had facilities for staying, with some furniture, linen, wells for water and a place to cook food and keep animals that were to be transported, there is no material evidence to suggest that this sarai had these facilities.

		In this collection, a particular dimension of their activities, writing the city through the everyday experience of the locality, is extracted to provide the lineaments of an emergent, multiple and multimedia environment.

		In this work, disposal of waste and relocation of polluting trades/industries to the city’s periphery is referred to as an externality.
		Therefore, while natural resources tend to be drawn in to the city, the flow of 'wastes' tend to lead from the city along different pathways and towards destinations far from their sources.
		As a researcher working on city and realizing that the present work is not making any claims to providing solutions to city’s problems, one has tried to ask different questions from the material generated in course of this work.

		When we founded Sarai, the challenge before us was to cohere a philosophy marrying this range of concerns to the vision of creating a lively public space where research and media practice could flow into one another.

		For Raqs, Sarai is a space where they have the freedom to pursue interdisciplinary and hybrid contexts for creative work and to develop a sustained engagement with the city and with different forms of media practice.
		Traditionally, sarais were also nodes in the communications system (horse-mail!) and spaces where theatrical entertainments, music, dervish dancing, and philosophical disputes could all be staged.

		Instead of being destroyed, as Col. McMaster claimed, the insurgents apparently withdrew to other towns during the predictable U.S. warnings for civilians to evacuate Sarai and the aerial onslaught before the ground assault began.
		A second goal of the guerrillas is merely to keep an army in the field and launch hit-and-run tactics to convince the invading country's populace back home that its government is incurring unacceptable casualties and doing poorly in a faraway war.
