Victory) was born Mirza Abu Zafar Siraj-ud-din Muhammad (24 October 1775 – 7 November 1862) and was the twentieth and last Mughal Emperor of India as well as an Urdu poet.

Detailed explanation-4: -In 1856, Lord Canning decided that Bahadur Shah Zafar would be the last Mughal king and after his death, none of his descendants would be recognized as a ruler – they would just be called princes.
