Answer
Rangoon, present-day Yangon in Myanmar, served as the place of exile for Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor. This decision was made by the British colonial authorities following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, in which Zafar played a significant role. The British viewed him as a symbol of resistance and sought to remove him from any position of influence or potential rallying point for further uprisings.
