The Last Mughal: The Fall of a Dynasty: Delhi, 1857 by William Dalrymple is a vivid historical account of the final years of the Mughal Empire and the dramatic events surrounding the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
Focusing on Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor, the book explores the cultural richness of nineteenth-century Delhi, the declining Mughal court, and the political tensions that eventually erupted into rebellion against British rule. Dalrymple brings together diaries, letters, poetry, and historical records to portray the people caught up in the fall of the Mughal dynasty and the destruction of Delhi.
A compelling blend of history, politics, culture, and personal stories, The Last Mughal offers a detailed and engaging portrait of Delhi at the end of the Mughal era.
