akbar ii

akbar ii -lrb- 22 april 1760 -- 28 september 1837 -rrb- , also known as `` akbar shah ii '' , was the penultimate mughal emperor of india .
he reigned from 1806 to 1837 .
he was the second son of shah alam ii and the father of bahadur shah ii .
akbar had little de facto power due to the increasing british control of india through the east india company .
shortly before his death , he sent ram mohan roy as an ambassador to britain .
during his regime , in 1835 , the east india company -lrb- eic -rrb- discontinued calling itself the lieutenant of the mughal emperor and issuing coins in his name .
the persian lines in the company 's coins to this effect were deleted .
his grave lies next to the dargah of 13th century sufi saint qutbuddin bakhtiar kaki at mehrauli , in a marble enclosure , along with that of bahadur shah i -lrb- also known as shah alam i -rrb- and shah alam ii .
