Who was the last ruler of the Mughal dynasty?
Bahadur Shah II After some rebels in the Sepoy Rebellion declared their allegiance to Shah Alam’s descendant, Bahadur Shah II, the British decided to abolish the institution altogether. They deposed the last Mughal Emperor in 1857 and exiled him to Burma, where he died in 1862. Thus came to an end the Mughal dynasty, which had contributed a momentous chapter to the history of India and Pakistan.
