Fall of Delhi | Azadi Ki Kahani | Ep. 13

Prasar Bharati Archives presents 'Azadi Ki Kahani' series.
Story of Indian Independence Struggle
The hard-fought recapture of Delhi by the British army was a decisive moment in the suppression of the 1857-58 Indian Mutiny against British rule. It extinguished Indian dreams of recreating the rule of the Mughal Empire.
On 11 May, the mutineers reached and captured Delhi, and declared Bahadur Shah II the Emperor of India, and the Emperor held his first court in many years. However, the British returned and laid siege to Delhi on 8 June 1857.
On 21 September, Delhi finally fell into the hands of British troops. The city received significant damage during the battle. Afterwards, the last titular Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II was captured and exiled to Rangoon.
