== History ==
The old city of Delhi, Shahjahanabad, was surrounded by a wall. The wall had many gates and bastions. A bastion is an angular structure projecting outward from the curtain wall of an artillery fortification. It is called "Burj" in Hindi and Urdu. One such burj or bastion was named after a British officer of East India Company.
The history of G.B. Road can be dated back to Mughal era. It is said that there were total five red light areas or ''kotha''s (brothels) in Delhi at that time. Then came the British Raj, when a British collector consolidated all the five kothas in one area on this road. The road has about 100 brothels now.G.B Road has one of the few red light areas in India apart from Kamathipura(Mumbai), Sonagachi(Kolkata), Chaturbhuj Sthan(Muzaffarpur).
