About Wajid Ali Shah


Wajid Ali Shah (نواب واجد على شاه) (official name .M. Hazrat Khalid, \Abul Mansur Nasir ud-din, Padshah-i-\Adil, Kaiser-i-Zaman, Arangha Sultan-i-\Alam, Muhammad Wajid \Ali Shah Bahadur) (1822-1887) was the tenth and last nawab of the princely kingdom of Awadh (Oudh) in present day Uttar Pradesh in India. He ascended the throne of Awadh in 1847 and ruled for nine years. His kingdom, long protected by the British under treaty, was eventually annexed peacefully on February 7, 1856 - days before the ninth anniversary of his coronation. The Nawab was exiled to Garden Reach in Metiabruz[1], then a suburb of Kolkata, where he lived out the rest of his life off a generous pension. He was a poet, playwright, dancer and great patron of the arts. He is widely credited with the revival of Kathak as a major form of classical Indian dance.
