Lahore is a city with an ancient pedigree. It's history goes back to the very beginnings of Hindu India. But when the British took control of Punjab in 1849 the city was mostly in ruins and long past its glory days.  Over the next 100 years the British transformed Lahore into one of the most important and culturally dynamic and vibrant places in India.
