edwin lutyens who designed the new capital of british india, new delhi, in the 1920s, had aligned the central vista, now rajpath, with purana qila. during the partition of india, in august 1947 the purana qila along with the neighbouring humayun's tomb, became the site for refuge camps for muslims migrating to newly founded pakistan. this included over 12,000 government employees who had opted for service in pakistan, and between 150,000–200,000 muslim refugees, who swarmed inside purana qila by september 1947, when indian government took over the management of the two camps. the purana qila camp remained functional until early 1948, as the trains to pakistan waited until october 1947 to start.
