Purana Qila[edit]

Old structures at a site do not mean they are part of the present structure. And the article clearly states "The origins of the Purana Qila lie in the walls of Dinpanah, the new city of Delhi was being constructed by Mughal emperor Humayun, in the general vicinity of the ancient Indraprastha ruins.^[1] Abul Fazl stated that he built the fort in the place of that of ancient Indraprastha.^[2]"

When we talk of Purana Qila we talk of the present structure, not any older structures which were ruined or destroyed, the ruins from 300 BC were never said to be of a fort.

Btw if you look at the excavations section its habitation is said to go back to 1000 BC, "This includes Painted Grey Ware, dating 1000 BC, and various objects and pottery signifying continuous habitation from Mauryan to Shunga, Kushana, Gupta, Rajput, Delhi Sultanate and Mughal periods.^[3]^[4]"

You also removed the part about it being the inner citadel of Dinpanah without giving a reason, even though it was sourced [1].

Now please stop making unsourced edits. Purana Qila wasn't built during 300 BC. Roman Reigns Fanboy (talk) 03:14, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
