Akbar Shah Ii




Akbar Shah II ( 1760 - 1837 ), also known as '''Mirza Akbar''', was the second-to-last of the Mughal Emperors of India . He held the title from 1806 to 1837 . He was the second son of Shah Alam II and the father of Bahadur Shah Zafar II .

Akbar had little real power due to the increasing British control of India through the East India Company . Shortly before his death he sent Ram Mohan Roy as an ambassador to England.
