The Last Mughal - The Fall of Delhi 1857 is William Dalrymple’s account of the life and death of Bahadur Shah Zafar II, the Seige of Delhi and the demise of Mughal rule and culture in India.

‘No vesting will remain to distinguish where the last of the Great Mughals rests.’
So proclaimed the British Commissioner when, on a dark evening in November 1862, a cheap coffin was silently buried…

Bahadur Shah Zafar II was one of the most tolerant and liked of the ruling dynasty but found himself leader of a violent and doomed uprising that would lead to the death of his sons and grandson, end in imprisonment and exile for himself and his remaining family members, and act as the swan song for the Mughal Empire on the Indian subcontinent.
