The year was 1857 an 82-year-old Mughal Bahadur Shah Zafar had become the rallying point for the rebellious soldiers who had launched the first movement of Indian independence. Seismic convulsions which followed marked the end of centuries of rule by the Mughal dynasty yet the cruelty of the reprisals that ensued what the British termed as mutiny rocked Delhi. The progenies of the great Mughals were summarily executed at this gate.
