How did the last Mughal emperor live the last 10 years of his life?

The last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, spent the last years of his life in exile in Burma (now Myanmar) after the failed Indian Rebellion of 1857. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of his life during those years:

1. Exile to Burma (1858): After the British suppressed the rebellion, Bahadur Shah Zafar was tried for treason, murder, and abetting the mutiny. He was found guilty and exiled to Rangoon, Burma, which was also under British control.

2. Life in Rangoon (1858-1862): Zafar lived in a small wooden house in Rangoon with his wife Zeenat Mahal and some of his children. He was closely guarded and was not allowed to meet anyone outside his immediate family.

3. Poetry and Solitude (1858-1862): Zafar spent his time writing poetry. His poems often expressed his sorrow and regret over the loss of his empire and his current state of imprisonment.

4. Death (1862): Bahadur Shah Zafar died in November 1862 at the age of 87. He was buried in an unmarked grave in Rangoon.

5. Legacy (1862 onwards): Zafar's grave was rediscovered in the 1990s. Today, a mausoleum stands at the site, and he is remembered as a symbol of resistance against British colonial rule.
