Mughal empire starting from 1526 to 1857 in our history , for some century very sanguine & for some decades degenerated can't be ignored & given a lukewarm view over it . One thing we all have to agree , during this period India was graced with sovereign status in the world as a whole. For 330 years there were many kings, many queens, many characters all inter woven to each other enacting a great drama on a mammoth canvas ,on which historian, playwright,fiction writers & all who are lovers of heritage & history try to unravel it as they desire . This is a leitmotif which can't be ignored .
Khusrau Mirza was favorite grandson of Akbar , son of Saleem honorifically known as Jehangir & Manwati Bai, niece of Jodha Bai,sister of Raja Man Singh ,half brother of Khurram honorifically known as Sahjehan was grieviously wronged by his father& Saleem & half brother Khurram was to raise the eyes of history buffs .Why it was so ! The only reason comprehended was the cross currents of Rajput ascendancy & Persian & Ulema influence which spawned conspiracies & counter conspiracies of court & harem , when morality of medieval India was ruling the roost . The gore ,the blood ,the murder was prevalent mores of day to day life .
As the story goes after loosing the fight of elephants & in the last days of Akbar , under the Timurid tradition Saleem with the help of senior begums Rukkya Sultan & Salima Begum , Saleem got the throne of Mughal Empire & after the death of Akbar , Khusrau Mirza along with his wife was house arrested at Agra . Khusrau Mirza was handsome, noble & chivalrous prince favorite in the court & among subjects, compared to Saleem his father who was addict of opium , arrack, wine & impulsive . Khusrau Mirza did not reconcile to his fate , on the pretext of visiting the tomb of Akbar at Sikandara near Mathura ,fled with 350 of his horse men to Taran Taran & met 5th Sikh Guru Arzan Dev . Help & few good words of Guru Arzan Dev, en raised his torture & death revebreted & reasonated in history for centuries between Sikhs & Mughal caused different saga of valour , drudgery & animosity manifested in glaring mosaics of events
