Why Allahabad Fort Prayagraj Matters
Cultural Heritage
Prince Salim's audacious rebellion against Emperor Akbar, centered at Allahabad Fort around 1600 CE, profoundly shaped the early 17th-century Mughal imperial narrative. Establishing his independent court within the fort's formidable walls, Salim even minted coins in his own name, directly challenging his father's authority. This period of internal strife underscored the fort's strategic importance not merely as a military outpost but as a potential seat of rival power. Further, the ancient Ashoka Pillar, predating the fort by millennia, bears an unparalleled palimpsest of imperial history. Its inscriptions include not only the edicts of Emperor Ashoka from the 3rd century BCE but also the significant Prayaga Prashasti of Samudragupta from the 4th century CE, detailing his vast conquests and the extent of the Gupta Empire, alongside a Persian inscription by Jahangir himself. The fort played a pivotal role in the formalization of British colonial power through the Treaty of Allahabad in 1765. Following the Battle of Buxar, the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II, then residing under British protection within the fort, granted the British East India Company the *Diwani* of Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha. This epoch-making agreement, negotiated within the fort's confines, irrevocably altered the political landscape of the subcontinent, effectively marking the genesis of British imperial rule. Decades later, during the tumultuous 1857 Uprising, Allahabad Fort served as a critical British stronghold. Its successful defense against widespread rebellion in the surrounding region was instrumental in consolidating British control over Uttar Pradesh, making it a strategic anchor for their counter-insurgency operations
