INTRODUCTION ON JAHANGIR

7. • Prince Salim succeeded to the throne on
Thursday, 3 November 1605, eight days after
his father's death. Salim ascended to the
throne with the title of Nur-ud-din Muhammad
Jahangir Badshah Ghazi, and thus began his
22-year reign at the age of 36. Jahangir, soon
after, had to fend off his own son,
Prince Khusrau Mirza, when the latter
attempted to claim the throne based on
Akbar's will to become his next heir. Khusrau
Mirza was defeated in 1606 and confined in
the fort of Agra. Jahangir considered his third
son, Prince Khurram (future Shah Jahan), his
favourite. As punishment, Khusrau Mirza was
handed over to his younger brother and was
partially blinded and killed. In 1622, Jahangir
sent his son, Prince Khurram, to fight against
the combined forces
of Ahmednagar, Bijapur and Golconda. After
his victory, Khurram turned against his father
and made a bid for power. Khurram
murdered his blind older brother, Khusrau
Mirza, in order to smooth his own path to the
throne.
REIGN

8. The East India Company persuaded King
James to send Roe as a royal envoy to
the Agra court of Jahangir . Roe resided at
Agra for three years, until 1619. At the
Mughal court, Roe became a favourite of
Jahangir and may have been his drinking
partner; certainly he arrived with gifts of
"many crates of red wine and explained to
him "What beere was? The immediate
result of the mission was to obtain
permission and protection for an East India
Company factory at Surat. While no major
trading privileges were conceded by
Jahingir, "Roe's mission was the beginning
of a Mughal-Company relationship that
would develop into something approaching
a partnership and see the EIC gradually
drawn into the Mughal nexus".
