Question Question 5
Which announcement of the Mughals hurt the sentiments of Muslims?
Lord Dalhousie announced that successors of Bahadur Shah Zafar would not be permitted to use Red Fort as their palace. They were required to shift to a place near the Qutab Minar. In 1856, Lord Canning announced that after the death of Bahadur Shah, his successors would not be allowed to use imperial titles with their names. These decisions of the British hurt the feelings of the Muslims.
