Syntax Error of History #Khusrau Mirza

History-The most authentic way of knowing our mythological incidents and ancestors .It is very important to know it as we can take the positives and negatives out of it .For example,on taking the attitude of Aurangazeb we can come to a conclusion that he is a religious euphuist .Hence we could spot out the negative aspect here and could make use of it in future.




Like wise , I like to know about the history that hasn't come into light (ie,)Hidden History.The Mughal empire is known for its numerous hidden history.The glimmer of it is the History of Khusrau Mirza.

Khusrau Mirza -The Grandson of Akbar, I would rather like to say. Since Jahangir is not a good father to him. From childhood days onwords, Khusrau is a great warrior and well known for fencing.
The way he handle his sword matters a lot.That is one of the main reason why Akbar thought of Khusrau crowning the next emperor.He is lot dedicative and disciplined man.He doesn't have any lust toward the opposite gender which is a unique character among the Mughals.

But there are several issues between Jahangir and Khusrau Mirza. Akbar was very worried about his son.He couldn't imagine Jahangir as the successor to him and to rule this vast empire.But he is more attracted towards Khusrau and had a small thought of making him the successor.

At that time, Akbar is fond of Elephants fights.He used to give elephants to the princes and make them to train it and keeps a competition. He asked Jahangir and Khusrau's elephants to fight.Both were stunned but on Akbar's order, they started the fight. But Jahangir's Elephant won the fight and he was on cloud nine. Khusrau was very upset with it. Jahangir also teased him of the fact that he lost.Hence Khusrau got angry and took his sword and asked his father to come for a fencing competition.Hence both were fighting against themselves forgetting the fact that they are father and son.At the end,  young Khurram(Shah Jahan) came there to stop their fight.





After Akbar's demise ,Man Singh-The trusted soldier of Akbar wanted to make Khusrau as the successor.But traitors tried to kill Khusrau . Hence Man Singh left Khusrau to his trusted friend.

Jahangir became the emperor and things were going smooth. Noor Jahan also joined her relationship with Jahangir .Khusrau was founded out by Jahangir's men and he was kept in the prison.

Khusrau was inching for his freedom.At that time Akbar's one year death anniversary arrived and Khusrau got his father's permission to visit Akbar's graveyard.Here he escaped to Punjab and Jahangir was very angry at him.There he seeked the help of Guru Arjun and few small emperor kings.After gaining support,he captured Chandigarh from Noor Jahan's uncle.So Noor Jahan was very angry at him.She decided to take her revenge on him.

Then at the   Battle of Bhairowal,Jahangir's army defeated Khusrau's crew and imprisoned him.Guru Arjun was prosecuted.Jahangir just took off one eye of Khusrau and made him half blind.This occasion made Khusrau limb and all treated him as a puppet.

Years passed and still Khusrau popularity didn't even reduce and his supporters chanted his name to become the emperor after Jahangir who now was bed ridden.But Shah Jahan was not impressed about it.He wants to settle this.

So Shah Jahan asked his father to take his brother along with him to the war.There with a help of the servant at night, Shah Jahan very diplomatically killed "The One eyed and Lame"Khusrau.He told his father that Khusrau has been killed in the war.

His body is buried near his mother's tomb.Khusrau sons are all executed by Shah Jahan.


Tomb






Hence a greatest Warrior has just got wasted by His own family members.If he had taken his reign,then the British would have not entered India thereby the history would have completly changed.

But what to do if the fate decides....................................................
