Last Mughal By Dalrymple William

Last Mughal By Dalrymple William

Product Description:

It is 7th November 1862, Rangoon. A motley crew of British soldiers escorts a shrouded corpse. A nondescript grave is ready inside the prison premises. The British officer in charge insists that no one is able to locate the last resting place of Bahadur Shah Zafar II, the last Mogul emperor.

Zafar, in his lifetime, was a skilled calligrapher and a talented poet. While Zafar's more illustrious ancestors controlled most of the Indian subcontinent, he was an emperor only in name. Denied any political powers by East India Company, Zafar succeeded in forging a court of brilliance. He presided over what was perhaps one of the greatest cultural renaissance in the world. Banaras holds for the millions of pilgrims and seekers who have been coming here for over 2500 years.

With an unmatched account of Indian and British, The Last Mughal is a revelatory account of one of history's bloodiest upheavals.
