Places
A structured place registry, not an embedded map. Each entry carries map-ready coordinates for
a future lightweight, non-tracking basemap; none is rendered in this pass, so that a missing
external dependency is never a reason to delay publishing the underlying research.
On Lahore Fort and Lahore Central Jail: both are listed below and both are
marked contested. This archive does not select one as the historical place of his custody at
death. Presenting the disagreement is the correct output of the evidence method used throughout
this site — see
Open Research Question OQ-2.
