Dear Harshawardhan Interesting reading for one who knows little about the Red Fort's history. Thank you. When I attended the Sound and Light show at the Fort in the late 1990s, a story was told (in a deep, resonant voice ..... in English) and sound and light indicated various areas of the fort which we could see from our vantage point. Trouble is - I missed the first part on which the action was based and couldn't catch up 1 I wonder if anybody on our List has enjoyed the experience and can relate events that were being told that evening. Many thanks Sally Long before the British forces came there, the Sikhs had attacked the Red Fort in Delhi on March 11,1783, and hoisted the ''Nishan Sahib''.
