		The impulse to the writing of the biography of Bahadur Shah originated from the controversy that had aroused between the author and the doyen of historians, Dr R. Majumdar.
		Husain acknowledges that when the mutineers arrived from Meerut in Delhi on May 11, 1857, and made Bahadur Shah accept their leadership, the Emperor sent post-haste a message to the Lieutenant Governor at Agra informing him that he was being pushed into a dangerous situation and sought their help to avert it.
		From chapters VI to IX, Husain tries to build up the thesis that Bahadur Shah had set up an independent civil and military court, and was desperately engaged in fighting the British by appealing to the Princes to join him and exhorting the sepoys to expel the British troops from the Ridge in Delhi.
