Detailed explanation-1: -Bahādur Shāh II, also called Bahādur Shāh Ẓafar, (born October 24, 1775, Delhi, India-died November 7, 1862, Rangoon [now Yangon], Myanmar), the last Mughal emperor of India (reigned 1837–57). He was a poet, musician, and calligrapher, more an aesthete than a political leader.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bahadur Shah Zafar, also known as Bahadur Shah II, was the last Mughal emperor of India who reigned from 1837 to 1857. The first War of Independence in India started in 1857 under his leadership. After losing the war, he was deposed by the British East India Company and exiled in 1858.
Detailed explanation-3: -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. This disrespectful behaviour towards the Mughal Emperor is also one of the political reasons for the revolt of 1857.
