| ==Biography==
| |
| His father ruled over a rapidly disintegrating [[empire]] between 1806 and 1837. It was during his time that the [[East India Company]] dispensed with the illusion of ruling in the name of the Mughal monarch and removed his name from the Persian texts that appeared on the coins struck by the company in the areas under their control.

| |
| His brother was not his father’s preferred choice as his successor. One of Akbar Shah's queens, Mumtaz Begum, had been pressuring him to declare her son, and Mirza Jahan Shah's half-brother [[Mirza Jahangir]] as his successor. The East India Company exiled Jahangir after he attacked their resident, Sir [[Archibald Seton]], in the [[Red Fort]].<ref>Husain, MS (2006) Bahadur Shah Zafar; And the War of 1857 in Delhi, Aakar Books, Delhi, P87-88</ref>

| ==Family==
