Mughal descendants seek to own the Red Fort to learn about the great daughter of Bahadur Shah Zafar II
The woman in Howrah claimed to be the great-granddaughter of the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II, his serious prime minister, Narendra Modi, visited his serious prime minister, Narendra Modi when he went to Yangon, Myanmar.
Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor
Sultana Begum, a poor woman from Howra, a Kolkata suburb, made headlines again after the Supreme Court rejected her request to hand her over to the iconic red fortress. For decades, the brave 70s woman won bread by sewing clothes. She was frustrated, but didn't go out. After all, she was the last Mughal, at least she claimed that it was. After the British government arrested Bahadur Shah Zafar II, they occupied the 17th-century Mughal red sandstone fortress, who defeated them in 1857 in India's first war of independence.
Howrah's woman claimed to be the great-granddaughter of the last Mughal emperor, his serious Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited his serious Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he went to Yangon, Myanmar. Bahadur Shah Zafar paid the price to lead the uprising. He was exiled to Myanmar, where he died and was buried, and his land and property were confiscated.
Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna rejected Sultana Begum's petition, “Why is there only the red fortress? Why not Fatehpur Sikri (the capital of the Mughal Empire during the reign of Akbar in the 16th century), Taj Mahal
In 2021, Sultana Begum has high expectations. She argued that the coalition government had confirmed the claims of her (now deceased) husband, Bedar Bakht, as a descendant and heir of Bahadur Shah Zafar II in 1960. She further claimed that the government began paying Bacht's pension, which he transferred to her after his death in 1980. However, pensions are not enough.
The government then began paying him, and the pension was transferred to her in 1980 after his death. She believes that the pension is not enough to meet her needs. The descendants of Mughals accused the government of “illegal” possession of the red fortress. She claimed that the government is now reluctant to pay enough compensation, commensurate with its property and historical value. She believes that this is a direct infringement of the basic rights and rights stipulated in Article 300A of the Constitution. This article says that no one is deprived of his legal property except for the authorization of law.
The last Mughal emperor and her six children's great-granddaughter survived a monthly pension of Rs 6,000. Sultana lives with her unmarried daughter, Madhu Begum. Despite her royal lineage, she has received little recognition or support.
