On a dark evening in November 1862, a cheap coffin is buried in eerie
silence. There are no lamentations or panegyrics, for the British
Commissioner in charge has insisted, 'No vesting will remain to
distinguish where the last of the Great Mughals rests.' This Mughal is
Bahadur Shah Zafar II, one of the most tolerant and likeable of his
remarkable dynasty who found himself leader of a violent and doomed
uprising. The Siege of Delhi was the Raj's Stalingrad, the end of both
Mughal power and a remarkable culture.
