'''Rafi ud-Darajat''' ({{lang-fa|{{Nastaliq|رفیع الدرجات}}}}) <br />
(1 December 1699 – 6 June 1719), the youngest son of [[Rafi-ush-Shan]] and the nephew of [[Azim ush Shan]], was the eleventh [[Mughal Emperor]]. After [[Furrukhsiyar]] was assassinated By [[Ajit Singh of Marwar|Ajit Singh]] of Marwar He succeeded [[Furrukhsiyar]] on 28 February 1719, And was placed on throne By [[Ajit Singh of Marwar|Ajit Singh]] of Marwar. <br />
<br />
==Reign==<br />
<br />
===Role of Maharaja AjIt Singh and Syed Brothers===<br />
As previous emperor [[Furrukhsiyar]] was deposed by [[Ajit Singh of Marwar|Ajit Singh]] of Marwar. Rafi ud-Darajat owed his throne to Ajit Singh and the Syed Brothers took full advantage of this. They wanted him to be a puppet ruler and so took steps to curtail his power.<br />
<br />
===Rival claim to throne===<br />
The reign of Rafi ud-Darajat was one of turbulence. On 18 May 1719, less than three months after his own accession, Rafi ud-Darajat's uncle, [[Neku Siyar|Nekusiyar]], assumed the throne at the [[Agra Fort]] as he thought he was more eligible for the post.<br />
<br />
The [[Syed Brothers]] were extremely determined to defend the emperor they had raised to the throne and punish the offender. They swiftly succeeded. Only three months after [[Neku Siyar|Nekusiyar's]] enthronement, the fort surrendered and Nekusiyar was captured. He was respectfully received by the ''Amir ul-Umara'' and confined at ''Salimgarh'' where he died in 1723.<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
Before dying, Rafi ud-Darajat requested that his elder brother be enthroned. Accordingly, on 6 June 1719, after a reign of 3 months and six days, he was dethroned. Two days later his brother, [[Rafi ud-Daulah]], was enthroned. Rafi ud-Darajat died of [[Tuberculosis]] or was murdered at Agra, 6 June 1719. His remains were interred near the shrine of Sufi saint Khawaja [[Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki]] at [[Mehrauli]] in [[Delhi]].<br />
