Khusro son of salim

GREAT ESCAPE OF MIRZA JAHAN KHUSRO SON OF AKBAR SANI HAJI MUHAMMED ISHAQUE DESCENDANT OF GREAT MUGHALS Haji Muhammed Ishaque Mughal The War of Independence of 1857 rattled the English. They could never expect what happened to them. Some flukes saved their empire, including help from Lahore, as well as disarmament of Lahore garrison. The object was simple. To kill all Mughal Princes who could be contender to the throne. So massive assassinations were carried out. In fact many Mughal Princes were not only killed in cold blood, but tortured to death. An evil Englishman has been reputed to have drunk the blood of some of them. Hodson is still remembered with the “Khooni darwaza” as killer of Princes in cold blood. Professor Aslam Pervez, an historian of Bahadur Shah II’s reign says: “There are so many people who claim to be descended. The Mughals were scattered, many ran away from Delhi, to Hyderabad, after the mutiny and no-one knows who went where,” he said. But of all the persons who claim descent, not one has a face like that of the Mughals or that of progeny of Bahadur Shah Zafar. Yes, it is known that Bahadur Shah Zafar is reputed to have been poisoned to death. And his family erased from the face of the earth. One brother of Bahadur Shah Zafar, and son of Akbar Sani escaped the clutches of the British administration and along with one person and one horse, landed in Chakwal, the area now part of Pakistan. We hear of many descendants of Bahadur Shah Zafar both in India a...

But destiny has something else in store for Khusrau…. The untimely death of Akbar provided Prince Salim an opportunity to ascend the throne and the first thing he did after becoming the Mughal king was to send his son Khusrau to house arrest and later blinded and imprisoned. Later Khusrau was killed by his brother Prince Khurram, who later came to be known as Shah Jahan. The mortal remains of the ill-fated prince were sent to Allahabad where his sister, Nisar Begum, built a grand tomb for Prince Khusrau. Today this tomb is converted into a beautiful park called Khusro Bagh. Architecture It is a walled garden with tombs of Shah Begum, mother of Khusrau; Nithar, sister of Khusrau and Khusrau. The first tomb is of Shah Begum; the second is of Nithar and the third tomb is of Khusrau. Shah Begum’s tomb was designed by the principal court artist of Jahangir, Aqa Reza. But it is Nithar’s tomb that is architecturally most elaborate. Khusrau’s tomb has fretwork windows. Located in muhalla Khuldabad close to the Allahabad railway station, in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, it is known as Khusro Bagh and visited by millions of tourists every year. Princess Ilisha is exploring the Khusro Bagh in the video.

There are few tales as tragic as this one, in the annals of the history of the Mughals. Once the favourite of his grandfather, Emperor Akbar, Shahzada Khusrau faced the wrath of a jealous father, an ambitious brother and lived with the knowledge that he may have caused his mother’s death. Finally, he was also done away with. Veteran bureaucrat and former Chairperson of the National Commission for Minorities, and former Chief Information Commissioner of India, Wajahat Habibullah, pens this piece on Khusrau’s tragic tale, helped ably by his grandson Rafay. The tale of Mughal Prince Shahzada Khusrau (1587-1622) is not just a tragic tale of a promising young man who had a chance to make history; it is also a tale of how the course of history itself would have changed if he had had a more significant role to play in it. I believe that the die was cast for the ultimate decline of the Empire – which at its pinnacle was the richest the world had ever known until Europe’s Industrial Revolution – the day Khusrau was killed. Shahzada Khusrau Mirza was the eldest son of Salim (later Emperor Jahangir) and was born on 16th August 1587, to Kachhwaha Princess Manbhawati Bai (born Rajkuwari Man Baisa Sahiba), also known as Man Bai. The daughter of Raja Bhagwant Das of Jaipur, she came from one of the most powerful Rajput families of her time. Man Bai was also the grandniece of Akbar’s own wife Harkabai (a Princess of Amer). Prince Khusrau grew up in the Mughal household and was known to be...

Prince Khusrau (1587-1622) was the eldest son of Prince Salim who is better known in history as Emperor Jahangir. His mother Man Bai (later Shah Begam), daughter of Raja Bhagvan Das of Amber, was a Hindu Princess born at Lahore on 6 August 1587. His grandfather, Emperor Akbar, had him brought up in the liberal tradition he had fostered, entrusting his education to teachers such as Abu`Fazl and Abu`Khair. Sheo Daft, a scholar of distinction, instructed him in Hindu religious thought and philosophy. Under the influence of these teachers, his mother and Raja Man Singh, who acted as his guardian for sometime, Khusrau developed an eclectic interest in religion. His amiable disposition won him the favour of his grandfather and the goodwill of the liberal party at the court. But as relations between the Emperor and his son Prince Salim became strained, Khusrau was driven into an unseemly conflict with his father as a rival for succession to the throne. During Akbar`s absence in the South in 1599-1601, Salim openly rebelled and started holding court at Allahabad. In August 1602, he had Abu`Fazl, his father`s trusted friend and counsellor, killed by a hired assassin. Salem`s excessive indulgence in wine and opium was also a cause of distress to his father, especially after the death from the effects of alcohol of his second son, DanTyal, in April 1604. His third son, Murad, had met with a similar fate in May 1599. In light of this, Khusrau came to be considered by a section of the ...

Popularly known as Prince Salim, the son ofMughal Emperor Akbaris famous for his notorious deeds. After all, the spoilt brat always created problems for both Akbar and his empire. Early Life and Background Born as Mirza Nur-ud-din Beig Mohammad Khan Salim (later Mughal Emperor Jahangir) on 31 August 1569, he was the first surviving son of Akbar from hisRajput wife Jodha Bai. Since he was born after a lot of prayers and after the blessings of the Sufi saint Salim Chisti, he was named ‘Salim’. Akbar lovingly called him Shaikhu Baba. Chisti sahab’s daughter was Salim’s foster mother as well. Though he was the son of Jodha Bai, he was loved by all the women in the imperial house especially Hamida Begum (his grandmother),Ruqaiya Begum(his step mother) and Salima Sultan Begum (his step mother). The Revolt Against His Father Before Becoming Mughal Emperor Jahangir When Emperor Akbar was busy in his Deccan campaign, Prince Salim, rebelled against his own father in 1601. When Akbar got to know about this he immediately appointed Prince Daniyal as the Viceroy of Deccan and hurried to his capital Agra. As soon as he reached Agra,Prince Salimmarched against Agra with 30,000 cavalry. A furious Akbar ordered him to go back to Allahabad. He also offered him the governorship of Orissa and Bengal. However, he returned to Allahabad, rejecting his father’s orders to take the governorship of Bengal and Orissa. In Allahabad he established his own court. Next, Akbar sent Abul Fazal (his wazir a...

21 minutes ago Author: Arunima Shukla The second part of the series Taj has gone on stream on 12th May. In this series, the last years of Akbar’s life were shown, in which there is a fight for the heir to the throne. On the life of Akbar and Salim (Jahangir), we spoke to Satyapal Yadav, Assistant Professor of History at Banaras Hindu University and Parvati Sharma, writer who has written a book on Jahangir, to know how true and fictional the events shown in the series are. Dharmendra with the team of the series Taj. He has played the role of Sheikh Salim Chishti in this series. Dharmendra with the team of the series Taj. He has played the role of Sheikh Salim Chishti in this series. First of all talk about Akbar and his three sons- Akbar had everything except a son. Till the age of 27, he yearned for a son. They had two sons, Hasan and Hussain, in 1564 but they died shortly after their birth. One day someone told Akbar about Sheikh Salim Chishti of Fatehpur Sikri and said that with his blessings he would definitely have children. Akbar met him and was blessed with three sons. After a few days, with the blessings of Sheikh Salim Chishti, Harka Bai (whom we know as Jodha Bai) became pregnant. Akbar’s first son was Salim. A few years later they had two more sons, Shah Murad and Daniyal. Daniyal was the son of Akbar and Anarkali. In the first part of the Taj series, it was shown that Anarkali, who was a minor concubine, was kept hidden by Akbar as a concubine in his harem for m...

As the final part of the series on Akbar and his feuding sons and grandsons releases, once again the audience is left wanting for more. The pace which it had picked up in the first part of the current season is conspicuously absent now. Things again unfold languidly. Emperor Akbar (Naseeruddin Shah) is on the death bed and now it's time to pick up a successor for once and all. Shah Salim is still in the fray, it's just that this time he is competing with his sons. This part banks on the metamorphosis of Salim into emperor Jahangir and Mehrunissa into Noor Jahan. However so poor is the writing and direction that this crucial and super interesting track is neither well-developed nor well-portrayed. What could have been the winning factor, unfortunately, exposes the chinks in the makers' armour. Now that finale has been out and the story is completed it's time for a final assessment. 'Taj' is not as regal and riveting as it could have been or should have been. While the first season was pathetic, the second opened with a lot of promises. It indeed was a great improvement on its predecessor but the final portion again pushes it into a dark abyss of mediocrity. Performance wise there is no major change. Aashim Gulati as the prince and king continues to hog the entire limelight. However, Aashim's performance is far from what an ideal performance should have been. There is just one scene after he returns from Lahore and asks everyone to prove their loyalty to him. When his one-ey...
