Answer 2

Answer:

• After the death of Aurangzeb, Mughal emperors held only symbolic value. Bahadur Shah Zafar was the last such Mughal emperor.
• During the 1857 revolt, the rebels needed someone who would rule the land once the British were thrown out of the country.
• They decided that this leader would have to be the Mughal emperor living in the Red Fort, in Delhi.
• Though a reluctant leader at first, Bahadur Shah did play an important role in the rebellion.
• Though Mughals had lost their earlier authority, a Mughal emperor’s word still held importance for quite a number of smaller rulers and chieftains.
• Bahadur Shah sent letters to all such chiefs and rulers, urging them to come forward and support the rebellion.
• After the revolt was suppressed, Bahadur Shah was tried in court and sentenced to life imprisonment.
• He and his wife were sent to prison in Rangoon in October 1858.
• He died in the Rangoon jail in November 1862.
