Answer:
The period of rule of Bahadur Shah was from 28th September 1837 to 14 th September , 1857 .
Explanation:
Bahadur Shah was the last Mughal ruler after which the Mughal dynasty came to an end .
The British showed disrespect to this ruler .
Lord Dalhousie announced that the Mughals will no longer use Red Fort as their palace and they would shift towards the Qutub Minar .
Another Lord General announced that all the titles of the princes of Bahadur Shah would be taken away .
They would be known as mere princes and hence the wife of Bahadur Shah started plotting against the British .
The disrespect shown towards the Indian rulers by the British became a cause for the First War of Independence which took place in 1857 .
