A lot of different types of buildings have been built in the Red Fort, which is now only in memories. Or in history.

When the rule of the British came, many of the palaces of the Red Fort broken even at that time. He also devastated and later the people did not repair the Red Fort so its beauty further reduced.

There are also places where the palace built earlier, now Chhabra has made for the Army forces there. And there has also a lot of space that broke in the British court.

After that, the first Prime Minister of India, known as Jawaharlal Nehru, Jawaharlal Nehru chanted a slogan. “Let’s go to Delhi” and it the first one resonated across the slogan that would take every citizen the country. I liked it. And this first slogan.

The first speech gives by the first Prime Minister India. After the Maharaja at the Red Fort.
