The tall truths about two Red Forts in Delhi

Not many of our history books describe the cities of Delhi. This, along with the fact that many of their names are similar, has led to a lot of misconceptions about the Red Fort. While there are two Red Forts in Delhi, neither was built on the ruins of the other and the Mughal fort was not originally called Red Fort. Raja Anangpal Tomar I founded the Tomar dynasty in AD 736. He probably chose the Aravalli hills in Mehrauli as his headquarters for its strategic and military advantages. Prithviraj Chauhan (AD 1169–1191), the grandson and heir of Anangpal Tomar II, expanded it. Now it came to be known as Qila Rai Pithaura, named after the dynast. After that Alauddin Khilji built the city of Siri in 1304, Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq built Tughlaqabad in 1321, Mohammad bin Tughlaq built Jahanpanah in 1326-27, Firoz Shah Tughlaq built Firozabad in 1354, Humayun built Dinpanah in 1534 and Sher Shah expanded it, calling it Sher Shah garh. The seventh city was Shahjahanabad, which we know as Old Delhi. New Delhi, of course, is Lutyens’ Delhi, built by the British after the decision was taken to transfer the capital from Calcutta to Delhi. At the heart of Shah Jahan’s city Shahjahanabad was an octagonal flower known as Qila e Mubarak (auspicious fort). It was 23km away from the Tomar Lal Kot and was not known as Red Fort till the 19th century. Shah Jahan did not build his Qila e Mubarak on the ruins of Lal Kot. In fact, structures in the fifth city of Delhi, Firozabad, were dismantled and t...

Red Fort Delhi

The vast stretch of red under the sun-warmed skies of Lal Qila is a representation of the cultural, political and architectural majesty of the Mughal Empire inking the Indian historical landscape with rich sundry hues. History of Red Fort The Qila-e-Mubarak or the blessed fort was home to Shah Jahan the Mughal Emperor and the grandson of Akbar, the greatest ruler the Mughal Empire ever saw. Not so different from Akbar, and having taken enough cues from him, Shah Jahan chartered his own course with élan. He was responsible for erecting some of the glorious structures of the time which are still identified as the most exquisite known for their sheer magnificence and the arduous journeys behind them. The Red Fort came to the being after Shah Jahan moved his capital from The red in the Red Fort was always not present. What many don’t know is that the edifice was painted red by the British only after the limestone from which the building was originally built in started to chip off. The name Red Fort finds its roots in the British era after they painted it in red to preserve it and thus rechristened it to Red Fort which then had its translation to Lal Qila among the land of the people. With the passing away of Shah Jahan the fate of the fort started to plummet as well. The successive rulers turned out to be defenceless against the rampages and pillages that followed. The Turk ruler Nadir Shah attacked the fort in 1739. The last Mughal ruler to have lived in the Red Fort was Baha...
