Talking History |10| Delhi: Shahjahanabad - The City of Gold
Talking History is a documentary series on Rajya Sabha TV charting the past of fabulous Indian cities and their history.
In this episode we talk about the foundation of Shahjahanabad, loosely known as Old Delhi or Puraani Dilli now. The city was built by Mughal emperor Shahjahan after he shifted the mughal capital from Agra to Delhi in 1639 AD.
By then, the Mughals had already established themselves in rule as well art and architecture. In the city of Shahjahanabad, the remnants of that era could be seen preserved in its havellis, nesteled in the narrow lanes, glittering markets and cuisine, which is tipped to be straight from the royal kitchen.
Besides the royal palace in Red Fort, popular boulevard Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid, Lal Mandir, Fatehpuri Masjid, string of mansions for the nobles and markets were build when Shahjahan had commissioned the city in the mid 17th century.

Kanika Singh . Indian beauty ! 😍
The name Chadni Chowk is highly unlikely to have come from moon light. There is a Chadni Chowk in Lucknow and one Chadni Chowk is in Lahore (couple other places - I forgot the names). All these places were / are associated with market for silver jewelry. More likely this is corruption of word chandi or silver.
Pls add ancient history tooo🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Akbar aur jahangir kaha gaye 😐
It would be better that while going into the mosque the lady must cover the head and cover the body. Everybody must respect the others religion.
Aurangzeb also built copy of Taj mahal -Bibi ka Maqbara in Aurangabad ...apart from Baadshahi mosque n Lahore ..pls mention !

Bibi ka Maqbara was built by Emperor Aurangzeb's son whose mother had died.

Aurangzeb's tyranny ended the mughal rule. His intolerance was through the roof and turned the people against hiim

Bro you read wrong history
Delhi sultanate dated back 5 century earlier than mugals and tamur lung !!!!
Shahjahanabad is not city of Gold.
You must have said that Shahjahan and Aurangzeb destroyed older hindu and Jain community residing there from early times.
The city went to shit
When you try speak with a different accent so hard, result is shit. It feels like anchor is and “indian of colonial period speaking in the court of Britisher”. Very annoying to know the history in this accent
One of the most stupid explanations to hear ----for why Shah Jahan chose Delhi for his capital.
Ab jhoonth bolne ki hadd hogayi hai, Mahakaal , Bhagwaan Shiv ji ka Mandir ko Mumtaj se Jodke deshwaasiyon ko bewakuff banare hai... Sharm aani chahiye...
Hindustan kaa itihas Angrezi me nai bataya jaa sakta.......... Haaaaaaaaaaaaah.... Angrezi me Hindustan kaa itihas SAMCHHA zarur jaa sakta hai....lekin JANA nai jaa sakta
What the hell is that historian wearing?? Atleast wear something formal not a "jhola".
