HistoriCity | Delhi’s Red Fort: A monument of power, rebellion, and independence

Hindustan Times  

2024 marked yet another year that the Indian Prime Minister hoisted the national flag from the Red Fort’s ramparts. The Red Fort marked the high point of emperor Shah Jahan’s extravagant building spree. He took back with him Shah Jahan’s beloved Peacock Throne and other riches from the Red Fort. In 1783, Sikh armies took over Delhi and the Red Fort and withdrew only after forcing emperor Shah Alam II to allow the construction of seven Sikh temples, including one right opposite the Red Fort. Colonel Prem Sahgal, Colonel Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon and Major-General Shah Nawaz Khan were tried and executed in the Red Fort, which by then had become a cantonment of the British army.
