Ruler of the Mogul Empire (1627–58). Shah Jahan’s given name was Khurram; he received the titular name of Shah Jahan (literally, “ruler of the world”) in 1616 for his victories in the Deccan. Between 1622 and 1625 he led a rebellion against his father, Jahangir, but he was defeated and forgiven. After becoming the Great Mogul in 1627, he killed his brothers and other relatives in order to be rid of pretenders to the throne. During Shah Jahan’s reign magnificent structures were erected, including the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Red Fort and Jumma Masjid in Delhi; these structures are among the finest examples of Mogul architecture. Despite its outward splendor, however, the Mogul Empire declined under Shah Jahan. Evidence of the decline may be seen in the terrible famine that struck the southern part of the country in 1630 and in the failure of numerous attempts to recover Kandahar, which had been captured by Iran. The spread of European trading companies in India intensified during Shah Jahan’s reign. A rumor of the emperor’s death in 1658 led to internecine warfare among his sons, as a result of which the eldest, Aurangzeb, seized the throne. Thereafter, Shah Jahan was imprisoned in his chambers until he died in 1666. Shah Jahan |
