Phatak Habsh Khan is a historical street in Old Delhi, named after an influential figure, Habsh Khan, who was likely an African (Habshi) who rose to prominence during the Mughal period. The term "Habshi" refers to people of African origin, particularly those who were brought to India as slaves or military personnel but often rose to important positions, especially during the Sultanate and Mughal eras. Phatak Habsh Khan is located in the Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi, a region known for its bustling markets and rich Mughal-era architecture. This area was central to the Mughal capital of Shahjahanabad, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the mid-17th century. Phatak, meaning "gate" in Hindi and Urdu, indicates that this street might have had a gated entrance during its early days, which was common in the fortified city of Shahjahanabad. The street itself is now part of a densely populated area with narrow lanes, typical of Old Delhi, and is surrounded by historical mosques, havelis (mansions), and markets that reflect the long history of the area. Over time, this historical identity has merged with modern developments, but Phatak Habsh Khan still retains its historical significance as part of the Mughal heritage of Delhi.
