Maybe I have just grown up with too much American TV, but when I think of a fort, I think of a small log barricade to keep the “Indian’s” out. These ones are huges, and keep the Indian’s in.
Over the couple of weeks I have seen some amazing forts (as they are called in India), which I would be calling castles (don’t get me started on the Palaces… especially my dinner in one the other night).
The one in Jaiselmier is still inhabited, 45 generations down the track, there are still 4,000 people living in the fort. The fort in Jaipur holds the largest cannon on wheels, which could shoot a cannon ball 35km (and took 2,200 elephants to pull into place in the fort)
