Today a news channel was showing a little documentary on Bahadur Shah Zafar, I'm not amazingly knowledgable about India's history but I understand the damage that was caused by some muslims and the british alike. To my surprise, my dad started complementing this Mughal emperor, even reciting some of his poetry and saying that he was one of the more noble muslim emperors to his knowledge, religiously balanced and very patriotic in regards to India. I don't know about todays signifance, or even it has any at all.
Does anyone else know anything about this emperor and/or have any opinions on him? I'm just interested.
