Bidar Bakht Mahmud Shah Bahadur, also known by his regnal name Jahan Shah, was the eighteenth Mughal emperor for a brief period in 1788 after Shah Alam II was deposed by Ghulam Kadir, Mahmud Shah Bahadur was the son of a former Mughal Emperor, Ahmad Shah Bahadur.[2] He himself became emperor for a brief period in 1788 as a puppet of Ghulam Kadir,[3] after Shah Alam II had been deposed and blinded.[4] He was allegedly put to death in 1790 by order of Shah Alam II, supposedly for usurping his authority in 1788.[citation needed]
