The opening as it read in 2015
Bahadur Shah Zafar The location of the grave of the last Mughal Bahadur Shah Zafar at Rangoon in Burma is disputed. This is mainly because of the lack of measures and infrastructures that were used to mark the spot.1 He was buried at the back of his enclosure, but as late as 1903, the location of his grave was forgotten.2 After some protests the British were forced to construct a stone slab to mark the site of his grave. The spot of his burial was again lost, only to be found in 1991, while excavators found the skeleton of the last Mughal emperor in the spot. A mausoleum was constructed which was inaugurated in 1994.3
