Morning rush hour at Kashmere Gate Metro Station is a sight to behold, and yet the originating namesake - the actual 'Kashmere Gate' - lies tucked away, mostly relegated to indifferent retirement. Although just one of the fourteen gateways into Shah Jahan's brand-new capital, Shahjahanabad, Kashmere Gate came to violent historical prominence during 1857 and the desperate struggle for Dehli.
Its bullet-and-shell scars stand testament to valour on both sides, just as much as the nearby Skinner's Church reminds a visitor of a more eclectic colonial period under the Company, while Qudsia Bagh continues to retain the last gasps of Mughal aesthetics amidst a rapidly declining century. So many heady episodes, and all submerged in the cacophony of today's Kashmere Gate neighbourhood. We, however, would love to unearth them with you on Sunday, the 26th of February!
