Bahādur Shah I

Bahādur Shah I

▪ Mughal emperor
born Oct. 14, 1643, Burhanpur [India]
died Feb. 27, 1712, Lahore [now in Pakistan]

      Mughal emperor of India from 1707–12.

      As Prince Muʿaẓẓam, the second son of the emperor Aurangzeb, he was the prospective heir after his elder brother defected to join their father's brother and rival, Shah Shujāʿ. Prince Muʿaẓẓam was sent in 1663 to represent his father in the Deccan plateau region of southern and central India. He led an army in 1683–84 against the Marathas (Marāṭhā) in the Portuguese enclave of Goa, south of Mumbai, but, lacking Portuguese support, made a disastrous retreat. After being persecuted for eight years under the rule of the powerful emperors Aurangzeb and Shah Jahān (Shāh Jahān), he was appointed governor of Kabul (now in Afghanistan) in 1699 by his father. When his father died, Prince Muʿaẓẓam killed his two brothers to become master of the empire. During his short reign as Bahādur Shah I, he encountered opposition from the Marathas and the Rajputs (Rājput), and in 1710–12 he drove the followers of the Sikh religion into the hills of the Punjab, subduing but not capturing their leader, Banda Singh Bahadur.
