Shocking Truth: Bricks Stolen from Humayun's Tomb for Mughal PM's Mausoleum

• Safdarjung's Tomb in Delhi is the last major Mughal monument, built between 1753-1754 AD.
• It commemorates Mirza Muqim Abul Mansur Khan, known as Safdarjung, who was the Wazir-e-Azam (Prime Minister) to Mughal Emperor Ahmed Shah Bahadur.
• Safdarjung was also the second Nawab of Awadh, ruling from 1739 to 1754, and an efficient administrator.
• His son, Shuja-ud-Daula, built the tomb but faced economic constraints during the declining Mughal Empire.
• It is believed that Shuja-ud-Daula, in anger over not achieving the desired grandeur, had bricks removed from Humayun's Tomb for Safdarjung's Tomb.

Why It Matters: Safdarjung's Tomb, built for a Mughal Prime Minister, allegedly used bricks stolen from Humayun's Tomb.
