BHADRA FORT, AHMADABAD-A WITNESS TO ARMED CONFLICTS BETWEEN MUGHAL EMPEROR JAHANGIR AND SON SHAH JAHAN

There are two such inscriptions placed in close proximity in the Bhadra Fort of Ahmadabad (Gujarat) which have been overlooked by some very learned Archaeologists and Historians like J.Burgess, Commissariat and Chughtai who are credited with publication of a large number of epigraphical records relating to Gujarat and Ahmadabad in particular as its capital. Probably the reason of these inscriptBions of Bhadra fort being ignored was that their lettering of Persian in Nastaliq khat (script) which was damaged and hence their deciphering appeared difficult. Surprisingly, the damage is supposed to be caused intentionally by chiselling. The two inscriptions of Bhadra fort gateway are historically important because they relate to a conflict that took place on 10th June 1623 (21 Shaban 1032 Hijri) and another a few days earlier when Safi Khan the official of Emperor Jahangir defended and retained his hold on the city of Ahmadabad against the two attempts by the officials of Prince Khurram in rebellion against his father Jahangir to capture the city.
