He used Zafar a part of his name, meaning “victory”,[1] as a nom de plume (takhallus) too, as anUrdu poet. He has written many Urdu ghazals. After the Indian Rebellion of 1857 the British Administration exiled him from Delhi.
Bahadur Shah Zafar in 1858, just after his trial in Delhi and before his departure for exile in Rangoon. This is possibly the only photograph ever taken of a Mughal emperor.
Area 51 is in a way related to ALOT of mysteries.
For example the largest of which that it is some kind of alien base in which intergalactic lifeforms and humans stage meeting, it used to be a nuclear testing facility and has many big craters in its perimeter, it bears resemblance to the lunar surface and it is believed that the filming of the hoaxed apollo 11 was done there.
Altough most of Area 51 activity is done underground you can still see many things of suspicion if looked from google earth.
Further more area 51 is situated near groom lake.
Actually there are 3 dry lakes
The lake immediately infront is groom lake where area 51 is situated.
In the furthest lake there is another air base which has a hanger housing a sausur type object measuring 107 feet
Possibly an Unidentified flying object to us civilians!
In the bottom left area (not the extreme left) us can see a hanger sort of shape.
Here is a bigger image:
Look at that hangar (NOT THE RED CIRCLED) that may house a UFO
AND Now the apollo 11 conspiracy:
Every one knows that apollo 11 was fake to prove it watch these videos:
and
now if you believe this look at the following picture of area 51

Now answer this do you believe area 51 has something suspicious?

Nuruddin Muhammad Jahangir 1605 to 1627
EARLY LIFE
Born as Prince Muhammad Salim, he was the third and eldest surviving son of Mughal Emperor Akbar. Akbar's twin sons, Hasan and Hussain, died in infancy. His mother was the Rajput Princess of Amber, Jodhabai (born Rajkumari Hira Kunwari, eldest daughter of Raja Bihar Mal or Bharmal, Raja of Amber, India).
Akbar developed an emotional attachment with the village Sikri (abode of Chishti). Therefore, he developed the town of Sikri and shifted his imperial court and residence from Agra to Sikri, later renamed as Fatehpur Sikri.
Education
Akbar ensured that his son received the best education possible. Salim started his studies at the age of four and was taught Farsi, Turkish, Arabic, Urdu, history, arithmetic, geography and other sciences by important tutors like Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khanan, a renowned soldier and scholar.
Marriage
Salim was made a Mansabdar of ten thousand (Das-Hazari), the highest military rank of the empire, after the emperor. He independently commanded a regiment in the Kabul campaign of 1581, when he was barely twelve. His Mansab was raised to Twelve Thousand, in 1585, at the time of his betrothal to his cousin Manbhawati Bai, daughter of Bhagwan Das of Amber. Raja Bhagwant Das, was the son of Raja Bharmal and the brother of Akbar's wife Rajkumari Hira Kunwari, also known as Mariam Zamani.
Noor Jahan
The emperor Akbar died in 1605 and was succeeded by prince Salim, who took the regal name Jahangir. After her husband Sher Afghan (who was appointed as jagirdar of Bardhaman, a city in Bengal) was killed in 1607.
In March 1611, her fortune took a turn for the better. She met the emperor Jahangir at the palace meena bazaar during the spring festival Nowruz new year. Jahangir grew so infatuated by her beauty that he proposed immediately and they were married on May 25 of the same year becoming his twentieth wife.
Mughal empress: For Mehr-un-Nisaa's own immediate family, marriage to Jahangir became a great boon with several members receiving sizeable endowments and promotions as a result. This affection led to Nur Jahan wielding a great deal of actual power in affairs of state. The Mughal state gave absolute power to the emperor, and those who exercised influence over the emperor gained immense influence and prestige. Jahangir's addiction to opium and alcohol made it easier for Nur Jahan to exert her influence. She even gave audiences at her palace and the ministers consulted with her on most matters. Indeed, Jahangir even permitted coinage to be struck in her name, something that traditionally defined sovereignty.
Death of Nur Jahan
When Jahangir died in 1628, Nur Jahan's brother Asaf Khan took the side of his son-in-law Khurrum against his sister. It was Khurram who became the new Mughal emperor under the regal name Shah Jahan. Nur Jahan was confined to a comfortable mansion for the rest of her life.
During this period, she paid for and oversaw the construction of her father's mausoleum in Agra, known now as Itmad-Ud-Daulah's Tomb, and occasionally composed Persian poems under the assumed name of Makhfi [1].
Nur Jahan died in 1645 at age 68, and is buried at Shahdara Bagh in Lahore, Pakistan in a tomb she had built herself, near the tomb of Jahangir. Her brother Asaf Khan's tomb is also located nearby.
