RED FORT :

The Red Fort was the residence of the Mughal emperor for nearly 200 years, until 1857. It is located in the centre of Delhi and houses a number of museums. In addition to accommodating the emperors and their households, it was the ceremonial and political centre of Mughal government and the setting for events critically impacting the region. The Sikh Rulers were fighting against the cruel Mughal Empire and the foreign invaders since the time of the Nader Shah's invasion of the Mughal Empire and the Indian Campaign of Ahmad Shah Durrani. Sikhs Misls waged several wars against the invaders and the cruel Mughal Empire.

After the conquest of Sirhind and killing of Mughal Governor Zain Khan Sirhindi, the Sikh Misls started raiding trans-Yamuna areas bordering Delhi and forced the Rohillas to pay tributes to them. By 1764, Sikhs Misls formed their grip over almost entire Punjab. The continuous raids to Delhi, later, resulted in the victory of Sikhs over Delhi & leading to happy and glorious time for the common people. On 11 March 1783, Sikhs defeated the Mughals and conquered Delhi. They entered the Red Fort hoisted the Sikh flag and occupied Diwan-i-Am.

On Independence Day (15 August), the Prime Minister of India hoists the 'tricolor' national flag at the main gate of the fort and delivers a nationally-broadcast speech from its ramparts

INDIA GATE : 
The India Gate, (originally called the All India War Memorial), is a war memorial located astride the Rajpath, on the eastern edge of the ‘ceremonial axis’ of New Delhi, formerly called Kingsway. India gate is a memorial to 82,000 soldiers of the undivided Indian Army who died in the period 1914–21 in the First World War. The India Gate, even though a war memorial, evokes the architectural style of the triumphal arch like the Arch of Constantine, outside the Colosseum in Rome, and is often compared to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai. It was designed by SirEdwin Lutyens.
