Redfort India photo copyrighted by: Alan Ingram The Red Fort’s main entrance is through the Lahore Gate- so named because it faces Lahore, in Pakistan. Beyond the gate lies the Chhatta Chowk or Meena Bazaar,. It was from here that the British deposed the last Mughal ruler, Bhadur Shah Zafar, marking the end of the three century long Mughal
rule. It was also from its ramparts that the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawharlal Nehru, announced to the nation that India was free form colonial rule.
