Detailed explanation-1: -Following his involvement in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the British exiled him to Rangoon in the British-controlled Burma in 1858, after convicting him on several charges. Bahadur Shah Zafar’s father, Akbar II, had been imprisoned by the British and he was not his father’s preferred choice as his successor.
Detailed explanation-2: -Governor-General Canning declared that after Bahadur Shah Zafar’s death, none of descendants would be recognised as a Mughal king. The rest of the Mughals would be called prince.
Detailed explanation-3: -What was the role of Bahadur Shah Zafar in the revolt of 1857? Bahadur Shah Zafar was a namesake ruler under the British and had the least interest in administering the Empire. He was rather indecisive and reluctant to join the Indian Mutiny of 1857. However, he became the nominal leader of the rebellion.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
