Answer:
1.Bahadur Shah Zafar or Bahadur Shah II (Persian: بهادرشاه ظفر) (born as Mirza Abu Zafar Siraj-ud-din Muhammad) (24 October 1775 – 7 November 1862) was the last Mughal emperor. He was the second son[2] of and became the successor to his father, Akbar II, upon his death on 28 September 1837. He was a nominal Emperor, as the Mughal Empire existed in name only and his authority was limited only to the walled city of Old Delhi (Shahjahanbad). Following his involvement in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the British exiled him to Rangoon in British-controlled Burma (now in Myanmar), after convicting him on several charges.
2.The long burning stifling heat of summer 1857 throughout India was accompanied by a shocking wave of bloodletting against British rule which saw thousands die across the racial and religious divideThe rebellion, instigated mainly by native Indian sepoy troops in the East India Company was also a symbolic protest against the company itself which had evolved from a trading institution in the 16th and 17th centuries to one of policing every aspect of military and social life in India by the 19th. The violent and tragic mutinies represented a turning point for British rule in India which saw the demise of the world’s most powerful trading company after 200 years of governing the country.In Spring 1857 sporadic violence in villages and military camps in the north of India led to massacres on both sides from Meerut to Delhi and its capital Calcutta, gradually turning India into a battlefield of vicious conflict between tribal and religious sects who were either opposed to or allianced with the country's British rulers. In the midst of this chaos one woman, a Queen, disinherited from her destiny by the East India company, found herself at the epicentre of the troubles which turned her from widow to warrior in what became the largest mutiny in the world.
