Tuglaqabad Fort, Delhi
Tughlaqabad Fort is a ruined fort in Delhi, built by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, the founder of Tughlaq dynasty, of the Delhi Sultanate of India in 1321, as he established the third historic city of Delhi, which was later abandoned in 1327. It lends its name to the nearby Tughlaqabad residential-commercial area as well as the Tughlaqabad Institutional Area. Also nearby is the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary, Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range and Okhla Industrial Area.
The Curse of Nizamuddin Auliya -
Ghias-ud-din is usually perceived as a liberal ruler. However, he was so passionate about his dream fort that he issued a dictate that all labourers in Delhi must work on his fort. Saint Nizamuddin Auliya, a Sufi mystic, got incensed as the work on his baoli (well) was stopped. The confrontation between the Sufi saint and the royal emperor has become a legend in India. The saint uttered a curse which was to resonate throughout history right until today: Ya rahey ujjar, ya basey gujjar which can roughly be translated to either remain inhabited or would live gujjars. So, after the fall of sultanate, Gujjars of the area captured the Qila and till date village Tughlakabad is situated in it.
The city is supposed to once have had as many as 52 gates of which only 13 remain today. The fortified city contained seven rainwater tanks.
The Death of the ruler -
Another of the saint's curses was Hunuz Dilli dur ast (Delhi is still far away). The Emperor was engrossed in a campaign in Bengal at this time. He was successful and was on his way to Delhi. However, his son, Muhammad bin Tughlaq, met him at Kara in Uttar Pradesh. Allegedly at the prince's orders, a Shamiana (Tent) fell on the Emperor, who was crushed to death.
the complex of Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq's tomb is entered by a high gateway made up of red sandstone with a flight of steps, inside the mausoleum are three graves: The central one belongs to Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq and the other two are believed to be those of his wife and his son and successor Muhammad bin Tughluq.
The city is supposed to once have had as many as 52 gates of which only 13 remain today. The fortified city contained seven rainwater tanks.

Cursed Fort of Delhi - Tughlaqabad Fort - Tughlaq Dynasty - Delhi Sultanate - Medieval India Forts
Tughlaqabad Fort is a ruined fort on Mehrauli-Badarpur road in New Delhi, India built by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, the founder of Tughlaq dynasty, of the Delhi Sultanate of India in 1321, as he established the fourth historic city of Delhi, which was later abandoned in 1327.
After Alauddin Khilji's death, his successor proved incompetent to rule over the entire Sultanate and very soon was replaced by Khusro Khan. Ghazi Malik was a feudatory and bannerman of the Khilji's and he, with the help of the forces of Multan and Sindh, overthrew Khusro Khan to become the new emperor of Delhi Sultanate assuming the name Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq. He established the famous Tughlaq dynasty and built the fort of Tughlaqabad within four years, from 1321-25. To save the Empire and his subjects from the marauding Mongols, Ghiyasuddin built the Tughlaqabad fort.
The entire fortification is made of granite and stands on a perimeter of roughly 6 kilometers. The southern part of the Tughlaqabad fort with the palace, royal, residences, and public halls still stand, but the city is now entirely in ruins.
The sloping rubble-filled city walls, a typical feature of monuments of the Tughluq dynasty, are between 10 and 15 meters high, topped by battlemented parapets and strengthened by circular bastions of up to two stories height. The city is supposed to once have had as many as 52 gates of which only 13 remain today. The fortified city contained seven rainwater tanks.
On the southern side of the fort is the tomb of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, which was built by the ruler himself.
The glorious fort stands as an exemplary structure of medieval India and is a must-visit for people interested in this segment of India's history.

Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq succeeded in this campaign. ... According to many historians such as Ibn Battuta, al-Safadi, Isami, and Vincent Smith, Ghiyasuddin was killed by his son Ulugh Juna Khanr in 1325 AD. Juna Khan ascended to power as Muhammad bin Tughlaq, and ruled for 26 years.
Five dynasties ruled over the Delhi Sultanate sequentially: the Mamluk dynasty (1206–1290), the Khalji dynasty (1290–1320), the Tughlaq dynasty (1320–1414), the Sayyid dynasty (1414–1451), and the Lodi dynasty (1451–1526).
Ghias-ud-din is usually perceived as a liberal ruler. However, he was so passionate about his dream fort that he issued a dictate that all labourers in Delhi must work on his fort.

The Land LOST in Time - Tughlaqabad Fort (Another tourist place you don't know), Delhi, India.
Tughlaqabad Fort is a ruined fort in Delhi, built by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, the founder of Tughlaq dynasty, of the Delhi Sultanate of India in 1321.
Ghazi Malik was a feudatory of the Khalji rulers of Delhi, India. Once while on a walk with his Khalji master, Ghazi Malik suggested that the king build a fort on a hillock in the southern portion of Delhi. The king jokingly told Ghazi Malik for building the fort himself when he would become king.
In 1321, Ghazi Malik drove away the Khaljis and assumed the title of Ghias-ud-din Tughlaq, starting the Tughlaq dynasty. He immediately started the construction of his fabled city, which he dreamt of as an impregnable, yet beautiful fort to keep away the Mongol marauders. However, destiny would not be as he would have liked.
The untold story of tughlaqabad fort
We represent our first video it's all about history and heritage.
The Tughlaqabad Fort came into existence like a lost fairytale of a bygone era also known as the 'Cursed Fort' situated on the Mehrauli-Badarpur road in South Delhi and also reachable from Khanpur in Delhi. It is a tale of a slave named Ghazi Malik, who served Sultan Mubarak Khilji of the Khilji dynasty and suggested that the Sultan should build a massive Fortress on the southern region of Delhi atop a hill and the Sultan jokingly commented that Ghazi can build one when he becomes the Sultan and destiny smiled upon this slave. The Sultan's own words came true and Ghazi drove away the entire Khilji Dynasty from Delhi. He conquered over the city as the new Emperor and re-christened himself as Ghiyaas-Ud-Din Tughlaq. He named this city as Tughlaqabad and started to design his dream fort that would not only be beautiful and majestic but also impregnable by enemies. In 1321, the construction of Tughlaqabad Fort commenced and was speedily completed within 4 years.
The reason for the short-lived reign of the Tughlaq dynasty was believed to be due to Saint Nizzamuddin Auliya's curse. It is said that the Tughlaq Sultan got so engrossed in the speedy construction of his fort that he instructed all the workers, artisans and labourers to dedicate all their time on completing this fort. This however, obstructed the work of Saint Auliya's 'Baoli' or 'Well' and he confronted the Sultan with his concern. Instead, the Sultan paid no heed to his requirements and the Saint cursed the Sultan by uttering 'Ya Rahey Usar, Ya Basey Gujjar' which means 'May the fort remain unoccupied or may the herdsmen occupy it' and another curse stated 'Hunuz Dilli Dur Est' which means 'Delhi is still far away' and thus that is what exactly happened, in 1324, the Sultan was returning from Bengal after a successful campaign and on the way met his son, Muhammed Bin Tughlaq in Uttar Pradesh in Kara. The Sultan camped there with his son and in a tragic incident lost his life. It is believed that his son, the Prince ordered for the roof or Shamiana to fall over the Sultan crushing him to death making it look like an accident. Since, the death of the Sultan, the Fort remained unoccupied and was finally abandoned in 1327.

Truly Amazing Ancient Tughlaqabad Fort in Delhi, India
Tughlaqabad Fort, now in ruins, is an amazing site to visit in Delhi, India. It is a large sprawling fortress stretching over 3.5 miles (6 km). It was built by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, founder of Tughlaq dynasty, in 1321. This considered the third historic city of Delhi, that was later abandoned in 1327. It's hard to believe it was abandoned with all the hard work that went into it. This was my favorite place to visit when I was in Delhi.
