Fortification of Awadh

The Fortification of Awadh refers to the strengthening and enhancement of defenses in the Awadh region (present-day Uttar Pradesh) during the 18th and 19th centuries. This involved building and upgrading forts, walls, and military structures to protect against invasions and maintain regional control. The focus was on creating strategic strongholds to defend against rival powers and ensure security for local rulers and residents. These fortifications played a crucial role in regional stability and the consolidation of authority during a period of shifting political landscapes in North India.
