Answer the following question briefly:
In the context of the Revolt of 1857, briefly discuss:
The decline of the Mughal dynasty
उत्तर
On 11 May 1857, Bahadur Shah Zafar was persuaded to accept the leadership of the Revolt. He was proclaimed the emperor of Hindustan. There was jubilation all around. The restoration of the Mughal empire was proclaimed with the booming of guns.
The success of the Revolt proved to be short-lived. British reinforcements arrived from Punjab, and Delhi was recovered in September 1857.
Bahadur Shah Zafar was taken prisoner, tried and exiled to Rangoon. The royal princes (two sons and one grandson of Bahadur Shah Zafar) were shot and their bodies displayed on the streets. The once-great dynasty of the Mughals finally came to an end.
