Ahmad Shah Bahadur

Ahmad Shah Bahadur was the Emperor of India from 1720 to 1748, belonging to the Mughal dynasty. He was the son of Emperor Bahadur Shah I and is often noted for his weak and ineffective rule, which faced challenges from powerful regional leaders and conflicts like the Persian invasion led by Nadir Shah. His reign marked a decline in Mughal authority, as the empire struggled with internal strife and external threats. Ultimately, Ahmad Shah Bahadur was deposed by his own nobles, reflecting the weakening grip of the Mughal emperors over their vast territory during the 18th century.
