Hi Yet1,
Here's the answer which will help you
1. Abu Zafar Sirajuddin MuhammadBahadur Shah Zafar
The last emperor of the celebrated Mughal Dynasty, evokes both awe and a deep pang of pain. Yes, the Mughals were foreign invaders too, but Hindustan grew to love them as they loved her with all their hearts that bled for her on pages in poetry and on battlefields in fervent wars. Bahadur Shah Zafar ascended the throne when the might of the Mughals had already been subdued before the East India Company, and apparently showed little ambition for power. Yet he’s seen as a freedom fighter for heading as Commander-in-Chief , the army of mutiny soldiers who tried to crowbar British domination to re-enter the past era of solidarity.
We all know how it ended though. Till the 1857 revolt he was paid meager respect and a small pension; after, he was exiled to Burma and still received the abominable pension. The stories from the end of his nominal reign are simply tragic. In one, he was presented the decapitated heads of his sons by a haughty and sadistic Major Hudson on Nowroz, and the poor father could do nothing but remain calm- a real shot in the proud faces of his fiery Timurid ancestors. He was known to be a prolific and accomplished urdu poet. A significant portion of his work was lost during 1857, but whatever survived unscathed was later combined into the Khulliyat-i-Zafar. In his incarceration, he was disallowed paper and ink, and so he composed his own epitaph on the walls which closes with the lines:
How unfortunate is Zafar! For his burial
