Biography

Notables Project
Mirza Abu Zafar Siraj-ud-din Muhammad is Notable.

Bahadur Shah II (born Mirza Abu Zafar Siraj-ud-din Muhammad and usually referred to by his poetic title, Bahadur Shah Zafar, was the twentieth and last Mughal emperor. He was the second son and the successor to his father, Akbar II, who died in 1837. He was a titular Emperor, as by the time of his reign, the Mughal Empire existed in name only and his authority was limited to the walled city of Shahjahanbad (Old Delhi). Following his involvement in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the British deposed him and exiled him to Rangoon in British-controlled Burma, after convicting him on several charges. The title of Empress of India was subsequently transferred to Queen Victoria.
