Mughal Emperor shah Kahan
The Taj Mahal model gift has become fashionable all over the world.
But the emperor who built the Taj Mahal spent the last year of his life in deep pain.
He passed away but the beauty of the buildings and gardens he built still stands in India and Pakistan.
On January 15, 1592, the Mughal prince Jahangir gave birth to a son.
Then Prince Jahangir's father Akbar Azam ruled India.
Akbar named Khurram after his grandson.
Khurram learned Persian from competent teachers, this uncle Murad meant archery ...
And by the firing of Raja Suleiman.
He also practiced sword fighting in the Deccan.
When Khurram was 13 years old, Emperor Akbar died.
Jahangir became emperor.
Like other princes, Prince Khurram was carefree and busy with his life.
Then Arjumand Bano Begum entered his life.
She was the daughter of Asif Jah, brother of Maharani Noor Jahan.
Khurram and Arjumand were married in 1612.
She was the same woman who was known in history as Mumtaz Mahal.
Khurram was similarly abducted by his wife's love from his father.
Jahangir to Maharani Noor Jahan.
But Prince Khurram did not forget his royal responsibilities.
In 1614, Emperor Jahangir sent him to conquer Meerut with an army of 12,000.
Khurram set up checkpoints at various places in Mewar and started arresting men, women and children.
They also carried out back-to-back attacks in different areas of Mewar.
Repeated attacks forced Amar Singh to surrender.
He accepted the reign of Emperor Jahangir.
Later, Khurram crushed the insurgency in Deccan and Kangra as well.
Pleased with his son's achievements, Jahangir gave Khurram the title of Shah Jahan in 1617.
Military successes created the desire to become emperor in Shah Jahan.
On the other hand, Empress Noor Jahan wanted to make Prince Sherryar her son-in-law and, ...
Shah Jahan, brother of the Emperor of India.
With the arrest, Shah Jahan appointed Shehryar as his successor under the influence of Jahangir Noor Jahan.
So he stood in rebellion.
He first attacked Dholpur.
This area was ruled by Shahyar which was forcibly taken over by Shah Jahan.
Emperor Jahangir Shah Jahan was very angry with this act.
He attached the testimonies of Shah Jahan.
And gave him the nickname "Bedolat" which means poor and not lucky.
When Jahangir was in Lahore, Shah Jahan attacked Agra and looted the city.
Now Jahangir himself raised an army to employ Shah Jahan.
He sent his son Prince Pervez to the front line with Commander-in-Chief Mahabat Khan.
Jahangir's army inflicted a heavy defeat on a detachment of Shah Jahan's army near Shahpur.
Sundar, who was an important commander of Shah Jahan, was killed in this battle.
After that, the armies of Pervez and Mahabat Khan defeated the forces of Shah Jahan.
Shah Jahan was very ashamed of it.
He sent Jahangir's teacher and his close associates to Mahabat Khan for reconciliation.
But Khankhana betrayed Shah Jahan and joined hands with the royal army.
Now Shah Jahan had to flee to the Deccan.
He urged Jahangir to apologize.
Shah Jahan also sent his sons Dara Shukoh and Aurangzeb to his father's service
Jahangir forgave his son.
Thus ended the revolt of Shah Jahan.
Shortly afterwards, Jahangir died on 28 October 1627.
At the same time, the issue of Jahangir's successor came to the fore.
Jahangir's sons, Khusrau and Pervez, died during their father's lifetime.
Now Jahangir's two heirs were alive.
Prince Shehryar and Shah Jahan.
Shah Jahan's father-in-law Asif Jah arrested his sister Noor Jahan without delay.
The goal is to stop Noor Jahan from helping his son-in-law, Prince Sherryar, succeed his successor.
Then he went to Lahore where Shahar Yar had declared his kingdom.
Just three months after Shehryar proclaimed the kingdom, Asif Jah arrived in Lahore with the army.
A decisive battle took place between the two armies near Lahore.
Sher Yar's ministers had signed an under-agreement with Asif Ja.
His betrayal defeated Shehiar.
Shehryar was blinded and imprisoned.
Shah Jahan was in the Deccan at a distance from Lahore.
Therefore, Asif Ja made Daur Bakhsh, the nephew of Shah Jahan, the emperor for that time.
Dawar Bakhsh had no authority and all matters of governance were in the hands of Asif Ja.
Shah Jahan went to Agra.
He sent a message to Asif Ja that Dawar Bakhsh, his brother Kashaniyat, Shehryar and two other princes ...
Timur and Hoshang should be put to death.
So first Asif Jah delivered a sermon in the name of Shah Jahan and later on February 2, 1628 ...
Killed the five princes.
Twelve days later, on February 14, 1628, Shah Jahan was made emperor at Agra.
He adopted the title of Abul Zafar Shahabuddin Muhammad Sahib Qur'an.
He fixed an annual stipend of Rs. 20 lakh for his stepmother and Jahangir's widow, Noor Jahan and ...
He was expelled from the Royal Court.
We have shown you the biography of Noor Jahan.
Three years after becoming emperor, Shah Jahan experienced the biggest emotional shock of his life.
On June 16, 1631, his dearest wife Mumtaz Mahal died giving birth to their 14th child.
At the last minute, Mumtaz called Shah Jahan and handed him over to his children ...
And he died saying the last words.
Shah Jahan wept after the death of his dearest wife.
All the courtiers who mourned the emperor wore black mourning clothes.
The emperor did not appear in court for a week.
During this time he only stood on the balcony and held the court.
His courtiers were obliged to stand before him and take his orders.
Dancing in the palace was also suspended.
The emperor wore colorful ornaments and clothes.
Shah Jahan also spent the occasion of Eid crying in memory of his wife.
He even said that if God had not given him, he would have divided the king among his sons.
And he would give up the world.
His beard turned white.
And the sight became weak.
Shah Jahan buried Mumtaz Mahal in Agra and converted his tomb into a mausoleum ...
Which is known as Taj Mahal.
The tomb took about 22 years to complete, from 1635 to 1655.
20,000 workers built it with their tireless efforts.
The construction cost is Rs. 4,000 at present, Rs. 35 million which is worth Rs. 50 billion today.
It is also known that Mumtaz Mahal received a promise from Shah Jan at the last moment ...
To erect the world's most beautiful tomb in his memory.
The Taj Mahal is currently a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Shah Jahan had appointed his father-in-law Asif Ja as the Prime Minister with full powers.
While he devoted himself largely to construction.
The beauty and decoration of Moti Masjid of Lahore Fort, Noorulhakha, Shalimar Garden ...
The Red Fort was built by Delhi and the Jamia Masjid by Sub Shah Shah.
After Shah Jahan's decision to secede from Agra, Delhi was restored.
The original name of present day Old Delhi was Shah Jahanabad.
Because Shah Jahan had settled this city.
Shah Jahan also made for himself an expensive throne called the Peacock Throne.
Its beak had gold legs on each side with a diamond loop and each peacock.
In the 18th century, the Iranian ruler Nader Shah Irani seized this precious throne and took it to Iran.
While the Shah was busy constructing buildings, he was not indifferent to the affairs of the state.
He loved his eldest son, Darius the Magnificent.
He wished Dar Shukoh his successor.
In 1654, Shah Jahan proclaimed Crown Prince Dar Shukoh.
He had already sent his three other sons out of Delhi.
Prince Murad was made the ruler of Gujjar.
Aurangzeb was the ruler of Deccan while Shah Shuja was the governor of Bengal.
Now only Dara Shukoh was in Delhi with her father.
And no obstacle stood in the way of his becoming emperor.
But there was a problem and that was Darius the Great's religious views that were not compatible ...
With the majority of Shah Jahan's courtiers.
It was thought of Darius the Great that all religions were in fact one for him.
He gave equal respect to Muslim Sufis, Hindus and spiritual leaders of other faiths.
His views turned the religious class against him in the Royal Court.
The section began contacting Aurangzeb, a devout Muslim.
At this, Aurangzeb quietly started plotting to seize power.
Then he too had the opportunity to stand in rebellion.
In 1657, the emperor suddenly fell ill.
Therefore, she was unable to hold the court.
Aurangzeb accused Dara Shukoh of keeping his father's illness a secret.
Under the pretext of questioning his father's health, Orejib left the Deccan with a large army.
He wrote a letter to his brother Murad stating that he had no desire for power ...
And the only purpose of life was to go to the Ka'bah (House of God)
He sought Murad's help against Darius the Magnificent's decision to make him emperor.
It was a great offer.
Orinzeb's words caught on.
So he joined Aurangzeb and moved to Delhi to attack.
Leading a large army in the Chamber, Darius the Great fought his brothers' army.
But he was defeated and fled to Lahore.
Aurangzeb captured Delhi and Agra and took his father Shah Jahan into custody.
Shah Jahan was inside the jail while his sons were outside on a palm tree.
First, Aurangzeb betrayed Murad and killed him at Gwalior Fort.
Dara Shukoh formed his army and attacked Aurangzeb's forces but had to retreat to defeat him.
Eventually he escaped to Sindh but he was betrayed by his own comrades.
They arrested Darius the Magnificent and presented him to Aurangzeb.
The third brother, Shah Shuja, was on his way to Banaras with his army when Orange Zeb ...
They took him on the road and defeated him.
Shah Shuja fled to Burma and reached Arakan and took political asylum with the Raja.
But he had a dispute with the Raja over which he killed Shah Shuja and his sons.
Now Darius the Magnificent was the only surviving brother of Aurangzeb.
He was already in jail.
The court prosecuted Dara Shiko and declared him an apostate.
The court ordered him killed.
Despite suspicions of impartiality, Darius the Magnificent was executed.
His head was beheaded and presented to Orange Zeb.
Some historians say that Orange Zeb refused to tell his brother that this was the face of a cursed man.
While others stated that he took his brother's head in his hand, the blood stains on him cleared ...
And shed tears.
Shah Jahan, who was in custody, was also getting information about all these incidents.
The news added to her pain.
Her daughter was serving her father while detained at Ara Palace.
Aurangzeb had appointed many servants to take care of his father and he respected him like an emperor.
Shah Jahan used to see the Taj Mahal from Wahoo and remember his beloved wife.
It so happens that to kill time, Shah Jahan asked Aurangzeb for permission to teach the Qur'an to children.
Upon receiving this message, Aurangzeb thought that his father was still obsessed with the kingdom.
He rejected his father's request.
On another occasion, when Aurangzeb proposed Dara Shukoh's daughter for his son Akbar.
Female members of the Dara Shukoh family were also detained at the Royal Palace in Agra.
Upon learning this suggestion, Darius the Great's daughter, armed herself with a dagger.
Instead of marrying the son of the man who killed her father, she decided to kill herself.
Shah Jahan also supported his granddaughter.
He stopped her from going to Aurangzeb.
Another row between Aurangzeb and Shah Jahan on the question of Koh-i-Noor ...
A huge treasure of jewels and diamonds that was with Shah Jahan.
Our channel has already shown you the story of this treasure.
When Aurangzeb asked his father to hand over the treasure, Shah Jahan refused.
He even warned that if he tried to snatch it, the treasure would be torn to pieces.
Aurangzeb fell silent.
And he sent a European physician to treat his father, and then Shah Jahan died.
One can only wonder whether this doctor had given poison or whether Shah Jahan had died a natural death.
But Aurangzeb gave the doctor a high position in the court.
The day Shah Jahan died, Aurangzeb was getting ready to go to Kashmir.
Surprisingly, Aurangzeb's oldest daughter Fakhrun Nisa greeted her father on the death of Shah Jahan.
All of them cast doubt on the death of Shah Jahan.
Shah Jahan's last rites were performed in accordance with Islam.
The army wore mourning black clothes and Aurangzeb walked behind the vehicle with a sad face ...
Shah Jahan's body was laid to rest.
Whether Aurangzeb is playing him or he is really saddened by death ...
About her father, we don't know anything about her.
Shah Jahan died in 74 years.
And he left the government seven years ago.
Shah Jahan was buried in the Taj Mahal along with Mumtaz Mahal.
