What this episode covers

If Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal Emperor, had not been involved in the Ghadar i.e. the revolt of 1857, he would have lived the life of a dervish with comfort and ease. But he got caught in the trap set by the rebel forces and spent the last days of his life in great misery.
