Its controversial. Bahadur Shah lost that mutiny. Many historians wrote about that 1957 revolt. But very little coincidence and conseuences. If that uprising by Sepoys was won by Bahadur Shah's men, we could say <a different story> and as a <lost chapter>, we can't talk about heroism.

Mongols when they overrun India were uncivilized nomadic barbarians never seen any buildings but used to live in tents ( they still do, go to Uzbeckistan and see). They could never built Taj Mahal.

After Babar fell seriously ill, Humayun was told of a plot by the senior nobles of Babur's court to bypass the leader's sons and appoint Mahdi Khwaja, Babur's sister's husband, as his successor. He rushed to Agra and arrived there to see his father was well enough again, although Mahdi Khwaja had lost all hope of becoming ruler after arrogantly exceeding his authority during Babur's illness. Upon his arrival in Agra it was Humayun himself who fell ill, and was close to dying. Babar is said to have circled the sick-bed, crying to God to take his life and not his son's. The traditions that follow this tell that Babur soon fell ill with a fever and Humayun began to get better again. His last words apparently being to his son, Humayun, "Do nothing against your brothers, even though they may deserve it." He died at the age of 47 on January 5 [O.S. 26 December 1530] 1531, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Humayun. Though he wished to be buried in his favorite garden in Kabul, a city he had always loved, he was first buried in a Mausoleum in the capital city of Agra. Roughly nine years later his wishes were fulfilled by Sher Shah Suri and Babur was buried in Bagh-e-Babur (Babur Gardens) in Kabul, Afghanistan. The inscription on his tomb reads (in Persian):

If there is a paradise on earth, it is this, it is this, it is this! Babur is considered a national hero in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, and is held in high esteem in Afghanistan where he is buried. In October 2005 the Pakistan military developed the Babur (cruise missile), named in honour of him.

Babur was the first Mughal Emperor of India. His tomb is located at Bagh-e Babur Garden, Kabul, Afghanistan. The first Mughal tomb in India is located at Delhi, which is the tomb of the second Mughal Emperor, Humayun.

Aurangzeb was the Mughal Emperor that died on 3 March 1707; however, he was not the last Mughal Emperor. After his death the Mughal dynasty's control declined. Bahadur Shah II was the last Mughal Emperor and he did not die until 7 November 1862.
