Are any of the Mughals alive? If yes, where are they?

There are no direct descendants of the Mughal emperors in a position of political power or ruling over any territory. The Mughal Empire, which once spanned a significant part of the Indian subcontinent, came to an end in the mid-19th century during the British colonial period.

The last Mughal emperor was Bahadur Shah II (also known as Bahadur Shah Zafar), who was exiled by the British after the Indian Rebellion of 1857. He spent the remainder of his life in exile and died in Rangoon (present-day Yangon), Burma (now Myanmar), in 1862.

Descendants of the Mughal emperors may still exist as private individuals or members of the general population. However, they do not hold any political power or official status related to the historical Mughal Empire.

It's worth noting that the Mughal descendants have not played a significant political role in post-colonial India, and the country operates as a democratic republic with no hereditary monarchy. Any changes in the status or whereabouts of the descendants would need to be verified with up-to-date sources.
