Meet the last Mughal heiress who now survives on Rs 6000 pension, has Bahadur Shah Zafar's connection, she lives in..., her name is...
Meet the last Mughal heiress who now survives on Rs 6000 pension, has Bahadur Shah Zafar's connection, she lives in…, her name is… The Mughals ruled most parts of the Indian subcontinent for over three centuries, starting from 1526 and until 1857. During their rule, Mughal emperors looted gold, jewellery and other precious stones and metals from India, making themselves enormously wealthy. When you imagine a Mughal heiress, you must have imagined her wearing several diamond and gold jewellery, living a comforting royal life. But, the imagination is not true. The great-granddaughter-in-law of India's last Mughal emperor who once lived in luxury, lives in a slum area on the outskirts of Kolkata city. 60-year-old Sultana Begum, who claimed to be related to the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, is living her life full of hardships. She lives in a hut with her family in Howrah. As per reports, she shares a kitchen with neighbours and street-side taps for washing clothes. A Mughal descendant's Journey From Royalty to Poverty In the 1980s, after the death of her husband Prince Mirza Bedar Bukht, Sultana's life changed tremendously. Since then she has been surviving on a pension per month pension of Rs 6,000. The family, burdened by the financial strain of raising six children, faces major economic hardship. Her daughters are also dealing with financial hardships and unable to help her. Sultana lives with her daughter Madhu Begam. She has filed several petitions to the government for help but get no response. As her royal ancestry is well-documented, the 60-year-old received a little support. Are Human Rights Organisations And NGOs Helping Sultana? Many descendants of India's former aristocracy, including Sultana, have experienced major financial hardship following British rule. Human rights advocates are helping these families. The contrast between their noble lineage and current poverty highlights historical negligence. While facing hardships, Sultana maintains pride in her heritage, recalling her late husband's emphasis on their royal ancestry and their refusal to resort to begging. She continues to petition the government for the support she believes her family is entitled to. The Mughal Dynasty The Mughal dynasty from which Sultana belongs contributed several architectural legacies throughout 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The Mughal, irrespective of their atrocities, built several beautiful structures such as the Taj Mahal, Red Fort, the Agra Fort and the Lahore Shalimar Gardens, most of them are recognised as world heritage sites by UNESCO. However, Sultana, for several years, sending petitions to central and state governments for help and a decent pension, but got no proper response.

ASI embarks on phase two of Barapullah bridge revival
Once a Mughal-era marvel, Delhi's 400-year-old Barapullah bridge is undergoing a careful restoration by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), expected to be completed by year-end, officials told HT on Monday. Tucked beneath the modern Barapullah flyover and straddling what is now a wide drain, the 17th-century bridge—named after its twelve distinct piers—has begun to emerge from the layers of urban neglect. The two-phase restoration project, led by the ASI, aims to return the heritage structure to its original form after years of encroachment and civic decay. 'We are yet to put an exact date on when phase two will start as the plans are still in the process of being approved, but we hope to wrap up the entire restoration work by the end of this year,' said an ASI official involved in the effort, requesting anonymity. The restoration effort The restoration effort gained momentum following a site visit by Delhi lieutenant governor VK Saxena in August 2024. At the time, the bridge had become indistinguishable from the fringes of the Madrasi colony in Jangpura-B, its corridor converted into a makeshift market. Phase one, completed over the past nine months, focused on clearing the site for conservation. Agencies including the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and the Public Works Department (PWD) cleaned and desilted the Barapullah drain while removing encroachments that had compromised the bridge's foundation. 'The colony and encroachments that were damaging the bridge structure were removed. About 168 families, whose houses were located in the colony, were relocated to Narela and nearby locations,' the ASI official said. When HT visited the site on Monday, the bridge stood sealed behind iron gates—both to protect the structure and to prevent further encroachment. Officials said these gates would reopen for pedestrian use after the restoration is completed, but the bridge will remain closed to vehicles to preserve its integrity. Phase 2 Unlike the clearing and relocation-driven first phase, the upcoming phase will focus on the structural restoration of the bridge. 'The corridor of the structure is very uneven due to layers of debris that were probably laid down again and again over the ages. It is one foot deep at some places and up to three feet deep in the middle of the structure,' said the ASI official. To understand the original materials and construction, ASI carried out a trial excavation. 'We dug a three-foot by three-foot patch at one end of the bridge to identify the materials used. We found ashlar stones—rectangular, durable blocks used in masonry—below all the debris layers. So in the next phase, we are going to remove all those layers and level the bridge out to reveal and preserve the original surface,' he added. The twelve piers that give the bridge its name will be a key focus. When viewed from the end formerly engulfed by the colony, the first pier on the right and the eighth on the left are visibly damaged and lie in fragments. 'These two piers will be reconstructed. The rest will be repaired, covered with fresh plaster, and restored,' the official said. The history Spanning 195 metres in length and 14 metres in width, the Barapullah bridge was constructed during the reign of Mughal emperor Jahangir, in 1621-22. Built over a Yamuna tributary—now reduced to an open drain next to Nizamuddin Basti—the bridge once served as a passage for the Mughal court. According to Delhi and Its Neighbourhood, a 2001 ASI publication, 'It [the Barapullah bridge] consists of 11 arched openings but twelve piers, which appear to have given it its name, meaning 'twelve piers.' Each pier is surmounted by a two-metre-high minar.' The book also references an inscription—no longer traceable—on one of the arches, stating that the bridge was built in 1030 A.H. (Islamic calendar) by Mihr Banu Agha, the chief eunuch in Jahangir's court. This translates to 1621-22 A.D. in the Gregorian calendar.

Discover The Stunning Blend Of Mughal And Rajput Architecture In Pune's Monuments
History and cultural legacy define Pune City while it gains recognition primarily for its Maratha roots. The Maratha architectural heritage of Pune includes an interesting narrative which shows how Mughal and Rajput design elements fused together. A special architectural fusion of Mughal and Rajput traditions manifests itself through the historical monuments which have stood silent as artifacts of cultural exchange in Pune's less famous sites. The examination of these structures lets us observe the perfect mixture of Mughal greatness with Rajput beauty across the Deccan region. Historical Context: The Confluence of Cultures The analysis requires understanding Pune's historical developments during the medieval time. Local aesthetics in the region took their form from the Maratha dominance alongside Mughal relations and Rajput political alliances. The Deccan offensive carried out by Aurangzeb led to the development of Pune into a position of power through Mughal control from 1681 through 1707. For all their resistance to Mughal control the Marathas allowed Mughal elements to remain via diplomatic activities and trade and skilled craftsmanship transfer. Due to their reputation for elaborate work and imposing fortresses the Rajputs maintained deep historical connections with multiple Indian dynasties operating in Maharashtra. Regional architecture benefited from the connections that enabled designers to implement Rajput design principles. The architectural monuments of Pune showcase integration between two heritage styles which produce both unique and unified design characteristics. Key Features of Mughal and Rajput Architecture Two notable features of Mughal and Rajput architecture serve as outlines for understanding the subsequent discussion about Pune examples. The Mughal architectural style displays symmetry through illustrious gardens while showcasing domes and minarets in addition to red sandstone and white marble and maintains perfect precision in every detail. Mughal and Rajput architecture stands out through the detailed stone carvings as well as written scripts and floral decorations that embellish their structures. Rajput Architecture manifests through its combination of defensive power and decorative beauty which appears through jharokhas, chhatris and protective fortifications as well as colorful frescoes. The public spaces in temples and palaces include stepped ponds and courtyards which were intended for shared events. These stylistic combinations lead to design creations that unite practical functionality with spiritual devotion alongside artistic elegance. Notable Examples in Pune 1. Shaniwar Wada The main identity of Shaniwar Wada stays with its Maratha power representation but it quietly shows Mughal architectural elements. Peshwa Baji Rao I constructed this fortress-palace during 1732 while keeping Mughal architectural elements in its arched gateways. A wall pattern bearing the lotus motif serves as one among several Mughal decorative features found inside the structure. The establishment contains Mughal-style public spaces through its courtyard arrangement which functioned as audience spaces. The defensive bastions at Shaniwar Wada use defense principles similar to those found in Rajput heritage sites particularly Chittorgarh fortress even without explicit Rajput inspiration. Shaniwar Wada remains a symbol of Pune's ability to integrate multiple architectural elements without losing its native heritage. 2. Lal Mahal Located in Pune, Lal Mahal displays Rajput architectural features blended surprisingly well in a simple yet elegant manner with the facade of its earlier residence serving as the home of Shivaji Maharaj. Today's restored parts of the structure display Rajput residential architectural features such as jharokhas alongside little work which exemplify the typical properties of Rajput residences. The building features elements aimed at ventilation and privacy thus adapting to the warm climate of the Deccan plateau. The palace demonstrates an effective layout that matches Rajput fort efficiency because it achieves practicality while preserving elegance. The Rajput techniques demonstrate their capability to transform according to regional requirements through these adjustments. 3. Aga Khan Palace The Indo-Saracenic monument Aga Khan Palace stands as a 1892 masterpiece of Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III which combines Mughal, Rajput and European architectural elements. The Mughal architectural features of arches and domes coordinate with Rajput roof elements such as chhatri-like structures. Elegant jaali patterns combined with geometric styles throughout the interior commemorate traditional arts. The memorial building at Aga Khan Palace provides important historical value to India's fight for independence after it functioned as the prison space where Mahatma Gandhi was detained. As an architectural masterpiece it represents unity through diverse elements which run through the cultural fiber of Pune. Conclusion: A Legacy of Harmony Through its monuments one can witness Mughal and Rajput traditions blending harmoniously in Pune. Detailed observation enables understanding of how these design approaches merge to create greater value in Pune's architectural development. The three structures represented by Shaniwar Wada, Lal Mahal and Aga Khan Palace demonstrate how Pune became a center of cultural cooperation as well as architectural innovation through their unique blending of traditions. The buildings demonstrate the historic function of Pune as a location where different ideologies and cultural aspects fused. Through this architecture we understand that art creates connections between different places while bridging historical times. Every age group from researchers to weekend travelers can experience Ahmedabad's pluralistic cultural heritage through these monuments which provide both visual beauty and historical understanding.
