BAHADUR SHAH I., a Mogul emperor of Hindustan, A.D. 1707-1712, the son and successor of Aurangzeb.
At the time of the latter's death his eldest surviving son, Prince Muazim, was governor of Kabul, and in his absence the next brother, AzamShah, assumed the functions of royalty.
Azam would not accept the proposal and was defeated and slain on the plains of Agra.
Ghiyasuddin AzamShah, being summoned by the Qazi, appeared before the court like an ordinary accused person, made graceful submission to the custodian of law and satisfied the complainant by offering a suitable indemnity in accordance with the decree.
Like his father (sikandar shah) and grandfather (iliyas shah), Ghiyasuddin AzamShah had great respect and reverence for the Alims and the Sufis.
Another aspect of Ghiyasuddin AzamShah's reign was that the Hindus gained much prominence in his court and this led to the rise of raja ganesha, the zamindar of Bhaturiya (in Dinajpur district).
