A fort in India on which even cannon balls were fired ineffectively, the British conceded defeat


 A fort of India, on which even cannon shells were fired, the British had accepted defeat. There are many such forts in our country, which are famous all over the world for their special reasons. There is a similar fort in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, which is called 'Fort of Lohgarh (Lohagarh)'.


There are many such forts in our country, which are famous all over the world for their special reasons. There is a similar fort in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, which is called 'Fort of Lohgarh (Lohagarh)'. The fort of Lohgarh is said to be the only invincible fort of India, as no one has ever conquered it. Not only that, the British had also surrendered from this fort.


Lohgarh Fort was built 285 years ago, i.e. on February 19, 1733 by the Jat ruler Maharaja Surajmal. Cannons and ammunition were in high demand at that time, so a special method was used to build this fort, so that even the ammunition shells hit the fort wall and became ineffective.


At the time of construction of this fort a wide and strong stone high wall was built first. Hundreds of feet wide mud wall was built around these walls so that they would not be affected by artillery shells and a deep and wide ditch was made at the bottom and filled with water. In such a case, even if the enemy crossed the water, it was not difficult or impossible to climb the flat wall.


It was not easy for anyone to attack the Lohgarh fort. Because the shells fired from the cannon would sink into the mud wall and their fire would calm down. This did not cause any damage to the fort. That is why the enemy could never enter inside this fort.


It is said that the British attacked this fort 13 times to capture it. The British army had rained hundreds of cannon shells here, but those shells had no effect on the fort. He could not distinguish the fort even once out of 13. It is said that the British army became frustrated with repeated defeats and left.


According to the English historian James Todd, the greatest feature of this fort was its walls, which are made of clay, but in spite of this, conquering this fort was no less than chewing iron gram. This fort has always delivered sixes of enemies and has persuaded its iron.
