Maybe he could have held on to what he had better. But those were difficult times for him. He ruled over an “empire” that by then barely extended beyong Delhi. He was a sufi and tolerant ruler as per historical accounts. But militarily he was weak and he did not take part in administration. Mirza Mughal his son was his commander-in chief but he did not have military experience. The East India company was too powerful then and executed the princes at Khooni Darwaza. Even if he was a better ruler, I cannot see how given the political landscape of that time , he could have changed the course of history.

Does that mean ‘1857 Revolt’ was totally a flop idea?
