Question

what did governor - general Canning decide for Bahadur Shah Zafar ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1856, Governor-General Canning decided that Bahadur Shah Zafar would be the last Mughal king and after his death none of his descendants would be recognised as kings – they would just be called princes. In the countryside peasants and zamindars resented the high taxes and the rigid methods of revenue collection.
