Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla

 

It is always fun to read about historical places in books and get information about them, but the fun of seeing those places is something else. One such place is the Indian Institute of Advanced Study in Shimla, which attracts tourists from all over the world along with being a witness to the history of our great country. This historical place was a bystander to the decision to create Pakistan and East Pakistan out of India. Lord Dufferin, who served as the Viceroy of India from 1884 to 1888, resided here. This palace-like building was known as the Viceregal Lodge and had all the amenities ahead of its time. Famous in Shimla, the center for advanced study and research was also known as Rashtrapati Niwas for its service to the president in the back days.
