Great-granddaughter of Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar is alive
Sultana Begum, the great-granddaughter-in-law of the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, lives in a Kolkata slum in stark contrast to her royal heritage. She faces financial hardships, surviving on a meager pension, with little government support. Human rights activists have highlighted her plight, indicative of the neglect experienced by descendants of India’s former aristocracy.
