White "A Life story of Bahadur Shah Zafar" Bahadur Shah Zafar was the last Mughal Emperor of India, born on October 24, 1775. He was the son of Akbar Shah II and succeeded his father as the ruler of the Mughal Empire in 1837. His reign, however, was largely symbolic with minimal real power, as the British East India Company had effectively taken control of most of India by then. Zafar's rule is most notable for his role in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny. During the uprising, he was declared the figurehead leader of the revolt against British rule. The rebellion was a significant, though ultimately unsuccessful, attempt to resist British dominance. Zafar's involvement in the uprising led to the British recapturing Delhi and reasserting control over the region. Following the suppression of the rebellion, Bahadur Shah Zafar was captured, tried, and convicted of treason by the British authorities. On October 7, 1858, he was deposed, and the Mughal Empire was officially abolished. Zafar was exiled to Rangoon (present-day Yangon) in Burma (present-day Myanmar), where he lived in relative obscurity and poverty until his death on November 7, 1862. Despite his fall from power, Zafar is remembered for his poetry and literary contributions. He wrote in Urdu and Persian, and his works reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Mughal court. His legacy remains a poignant reminder of the end of the Mughal Empire and the broader context of colonialism in India. ©Sanjoy Khuman #A life story of Bahadur Shah Zafar
