Bahadur Shah Zafar
1775 CE–1862 CE · Delhi
Bahadur Shah Zafar (1775–1862) was the twentieth and last emperor of the Mughal dynasty, reigning from 1837 to 1857, though his effective authority was confined to Delhi under British oversight. An accomplished Urdu poet, he presided over a court of largely ceremonial power. During the Indian Rebellion of 1857 the mutineers proclaimed him their nominal leader, and after the revolt was suppressed the British tried and deposed him. He was exiled to Rangoon, where he died in 1862.
