On the 11th of March 1783, the Khalsa forces composed of Buddha Dal chief, Jassa Singh Ahluwalia and Baba Baghel Singh entered the Red Fort(Lal Quila) in Delhi and occupied the Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience). The Mughal Ruler, Shah Alam II had no option but to surrender to the Khalsa armies. Why didn't mentioned this in video??

Why should Delhi, founded by illustrious Rajput dynasties like the Tomars and Chauhans, succumb to a substantial Punjabi influx? They are gradually outnumbering us and diluting our rich cultural heritage with a dominant Punjabi influence, instead of cherishing our Rajput legacy. They are unlikely to embrace and appreciate our customs, just as they cannot appreciate profound historical roots.

Nehru didn't unfurl the National Flag from Red Fort on 15th, 1947. The 15th August celebration, including his "Tryst with Destiny" speech, happened in the old parliament building. But they had to do something in front of the public, so the PM unfurled national flag from Red Fort on 16th August, 1947.
