So, what if Bahadur Shah II, last mughal emperor, had come to the conclusion that pissing off the british would be a bad idea, and instead decides to either ignore or fight against the sepoy mutiny of 1857?
What are the effects on India? With the mughals still nominally in charge, would the BEIC still turn into the Indian Raj, at least in its name?
What happens to Bahadur's children? Can they be legitimised, allowing the mughal dynasty to survive?
