Talking History |12| Delhi: Inside the Red Fort

Talking History is a documentary series on Rajya Sabha TV charting the past of fabulous Indian cities and their history.
In this episode we go inside the historic Red Fort of Delhi, which today is a powerful edifice of India's democracy. Built in 1648 on the order of Mughal Emperor Shahjahan after he shifted the capital to Delhi, the Red Fort is a telling statement of the skills of thousands of workers engaged in its construction.
The Fort houses famous Chatta Chowk and string of imperial palaces, lot of which underwent changes after the British occupied the Fort supressing 1857 Indian Uprising.
Guests: Swapna Liddle, INTACH
Rana Safvi, Writer & Historian

    Extremely rich in contents, truly a wonderful video. I love n respect everyone who contributed in making it possible. Great. I Love every stone, every brick of heritage buildings of Agra,Delhi and elsewhere. They attract my soul like a magnet. It is as if I have centuries old spiritual connect with these edifices. I get attuned with Divine while visiting these places. Lucky I am, no doubt.

    लेफ्ट इतिहासकारों ने लिखा-लालकिला शाहजहां ने 1638 में बनवाया लेकिन oxford संग्रहालय में 1628 की पेटिंग है, जिसमें 1628 में शाहजहां *दीवाने आम* लालकिले में विदेशी राजदूत से मिला, 1638 में बनाना शुरु किया तो 1628 में शाहजहा अंदर लालकिला 12वी शताब्दी मे पृथ्वीराज का महल था, *लालकोट"
