The Final Mughal Emperor and the End of an Era: Bahadur Shah Zafar II

The final Mughal emperor of India was Bahadur Shah Zafar II, who was born on October 24, 1775. One of the strongest dynasties in Indian history came to an end under his rule. In addition to being a king, Bahadur Shah Zafar was a poet, philosopher, and representative of opposition to British colonialism. He ruled during a period when the Mughal Empire had shrunk to a shadow of its former glory, and he is frequently recognized for his cultural and spiritual influence more than his political clout.
