END OF PESHWASHIP AND
THE MUGHAL RULE
Nana Sahib escaped
after the Revolt as he had actively taken part in it. He could
not be traced after that. With his escape the Peshwaship came
to an end. The title of Mughal emperor was also abolished as
the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar died in 1862 and
he also took part in the Revolt. Thus came the end of the glorious
Mughal dynasty founded by Babur in 1526 in the first battle of
Panipat.
