The Latter Day King

Times were changing slowly. The West's invasion of the East had begun. The wind of British civilization was rising and the lamps of Eastern civilization were flickering. It was the last spring of Delhi, which was waiting for autumn. 

Bahadur Shah was acutely aware of his helplessness, but he could not remedy it, and he and himself were against him hand and foot. They were doing housework. His beloved Begum Zeenat Mahal wanted to make Mirza Jawan Bakht the crown prince. In this regard, he had arranged with the Ferangis. Samdhi Mirza Elahi Bakhsh of the king went to meet the British. Shahi Tabib Hakeem Ahsanullah Khan was a servant of the British. When Ghadar happened in 57 AD, which was actually the first war of independence that was fought against the British, the native forces gathered from all around and started coming to Delhi and forced the old king to obey their orders and started fighting with the Ferangis, but inside the camp there were termites. was done The crown prince was running his own. They were dreaming of their own kingdom. General Bakht Khan fought hard at first. But when he saw that Sahib Alam did not allow him to go, he took his men and went into hiding. 

The desire for power and the intrigues of the palaces brought down the last Mughal emperor. When the British forces invaded Delhi and there was no hope for the city to survive, the king left the Red Fort and went to Humayun's tomb. Delhi was conquered by the British. The subject was devastated. Rest in peace. Where the horn was hidden. Delhi was broken brick by brick. Hudson led his army to Humayun's tomb. Shortly before his arrival, General Bakht Khan came to the tomb and told the king that Delhi was over. You better come with me. We will make another place our stronghold and fight the British. The king also agreed to go with him, but the British aspirants again dissuaded him. Having said that, what is the validity of this prophecy? It wants to become the king itself in your guise. The king again slipped. 

He was assured that the British would continue your pension and also open your vows that had been closed, and you would live comfortably in the Red Fort. What does the blind want? Two eyes. The king refused to go with Bakht Khan. General Bakht Khan made it very clear that this advice is for the Namak Harams. What is the credibility of them or the Ferangis? But the king was divided and when Hudson's army entered the tomb, General Bakht Khan gave the last salutation to the king and descended from the tomb towards the Yamuna. It is not known whether he was swallowed up by the earth or swallowed up by the sky. Hudson came and talked to the king. The king offered a few conditions to return to the fort. He wanted to save his life and that of his family. He wanted the pension to continue and the vow to be opened. Hudson agreed to all the demands. 

He made the king ride in the air and the six princes in the fence. When the bloody gates of Delhi were reached, Hudson stopped and ordered the princes to come out of the fence. The princes obeyed the order. Hudson slapped them. The princes said, "You have spared us our lives." One by one, Hudson shot the six princes. There is also a tradition that when the princes were dying in dust and blood, Hudson drank their blood and said, "Today I took revenge for the British killing."The heads of the princes were cut off and their bodies were hung on the bloody door. The king was imprisoned in Red Fort. When the king murmured, "I was promised to keep my pension and to open my vows," Hudson said, "We will also open your vows." The heads were placed in a plate and presented to the king. 

Soon, the city became famous. Dogs began to return in the deserts. The bazaar, where khao was used for khao, and if the plate was thrown, heads would go to the head, were demolished. The mansions of the rich princes were demolished and donkey plows were driven across Delhi in search of burials. The King was tried in Red Fort and imprisoned and sent to Rangoon. The belly of Lal Haveli was burnt. The white army started living in the fort. Horses were tied in Jama Masjid. Bahadur Shah was a poor manish king, he used to be a follower, and whoever was his follower would get some kind of stipend. Thus, he had hundreds of followers who were called disciples. A neighborhood in Delhi is called Chela Ka Kocha because of the residence of these Chela. Poetry, as it were, was in his mind. Kalam-ul-Muluk-Muluk-ul-Kalam, this saying is truer to no one else than him. There is bitterness in the speech, his speech is a mirror of his life, disappointments made his heart bitter. He said that two lines of  urdu poetry as traditional poets,

Or I would have been made a royal officer

Or I would have made the crown a mattress
