Akbar Shah II - Princes: Descendants in His Line

Princes: Descendants in His Line

After the mutiny, cousins of Mirza Mughal, son of Bahadur Shah Zafar son of Akbar Shah II escaped to neighboring areas in fear of capture by the British. Prince Mirza Mughal, the heir apparent was himself killed in battle. Many princes settled in various provinces of India, but some settled in Burma and Bengal since a large number of imperial family members, along with Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar were exiled to Rangoon in Burma. In 1858, after the Imperial family was abolished, the capital of the Empire was moved to Bengal and remained as such till 1912.

    in the gesticulations of shirtsleeves ...”
