Code-Switching and Code-Clashing

The Red Fort Complex's Monument stands as a dominant landmark in Delhi, captivating tourists and pilgrims alike. It is the focal point of souvenir sales and serves as a symbolic representation of the site, often gracing postcards and posters. The study 'Code-Switching and Code-Clashing' highlights its significance by analyzing its role in cultural perception and tourism. While the Monument's visual appeal and historical importance are central to its allure, the research also explores how it interacts with other notable sites like the Baha’i temple, India Gate, Chattarpur temple, and the Red Fort itself. This work delves into the complexities of code-switching—where different cultural or symbolic codes intersect—and code-clashing, examining how these dynamics shape visitor experiences and the site's identity.
