The battle with Ibrahim Lodi ,First battle of Panipat..

The first battle of Panipat was actually the event end of the Lodhi dynasty and the beginning
of the Mughal dynasty in India. The 1st battle of Panipat was fought between the last ruler
of Lodhi dynasty, Ibrahim Lodhi and the ruler of Kabul, Babur. By 1525, Babur had captured
the whole of Punjab and then he proceeded towards Delhi. The history of the first battle of
Panipat was an important milestone that was to change the face of history in India. After
capturing Punjab, Babur proceeded towards Delhi to meet Ibrahim Lodhi. The Sultan got the
message that Babur was proceeding towards Delhi with a huge army and strong artillery.
But Ibrahim Lodhi's army was much bigger and he had war elephants. But Babur defeated
the army with organization and skilled maneuvering.
This historic battle of Panipat took place on April 21st (1526) at the place called Panipat
which is located in modern day Haryana. This place has been the site many important
battles in the history of India. Though Ibrahim Lodhi had elephants and huge army, he did
not know how to control them. Babur had guns and he used them to scare the elephants. As
a result the elephants went out of control and trampled Lodhi's own army. He lost a lot of
soldiers like that. Ibrahim Lodhi was finally abandoned by his generals and advisors and
was left to die on the battlefield. This battle was the turning point in the history of Delhi as
it marked the beginning of one of the most important empires in India, the Mughal dynasty.

 Revolt

In 1600, when Akbar was away from the capital on an expedition, Salim broke into an open rebellion,
and declared himself Emperor. Akbar had to hastily return to Agra and restore order. There was a time
when Akbar thought of putting his eldest grandson Khusrau Mirza on the throne instead of Salim.Prince
Salim forcefully succeeded to the throne on November 3, 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 son, Prince
Khusrau Mirza, when he 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. As punishment Khusrau Mirza
was blinded, and the Sikh Guru Arjun (the religious spiritual head of the sect at the time) was put to
death, for giving the then fugitive Khusrau Mirza money when he visited Guru Arjun.In 1622, Khurram
(Shah Jahan), younger brother of Khusrau Mirza, had Khusrau murdered in a conspiracy to eliminate
all possible contenders to the throne. Taking advantage of this internal conflict, the Persians seized the
city of Qandahar and as a result of this loss, the Mughals lost control over the trade routes to
Afghanistan, Persian and Central Asia and also exposed India to invasions from the north-west.

Nur-ud-din Salim Jahangir (full title: Al-Sultan al-'Azam wal Khaqan al-Mukarram, Khushru-i-Giti
Panah, Abu'l-Fath Nur-ud-din Muhammad Jahangir Padshah Ghazi [Jannat-Makaani])
(September 20, 1569 – November 8, 1627) (OS August 31, 1569 – NS November 8, 1627) was the
ruler of the Mughal Empire from 1605 until his death. The name Jahangir is from Persian ‫جہانگير‬,
meaning "Conqueror of the World". Nur-ud-din or Nur al-Din is an Arabic name which means "
Light of the Faith."Born as Prince Muhammad Salim, he was the third and eldest surviving son of
Mogul Emperor Akbar. Akbar's twin sons, Hasan and Hussain, died in infancy. His mother was the
Rajput Princess of Amber, Jodhabai (born Rajkumari Hira Kunwari, eldest daughter of Raja Bihar Mal
or Bharmal, Raja of Amber, India)

The child was named Salim after the darvesh and was affectionately addressed by Akbar as Sheikhu
Baba.

Marriege

The marriage with Manbhawati Bai took place on February 13, 1585. Manbhawati gave birth to
Khusrau Mirza. Thereafter, Salim was allowed to marry, in quick succession, a number of
accomplished girls from the aristocratic Mughal and Rajput families. One of his favourite wives was a
Rajput Princess, known as Jagat Gosain and Princess Manmati, who gave birth to Prince Khurram,
the future Shah Jahan, Jahangir's successor to the throne. The total number of wives in his harem
was more than eight hundred.

Jahangir married the extremely beautiful and intelligent Mehr-ul-Nisa (better known by her subsequent

Nur Jahan
title of ), in May 1611. She was the widow of Sher Afghan. She was witty,
intelligent and beautiful, which was what attracted Jahangir to her. Before being awarded the title of
Nur Jahan ('Light of the World'), she was called Nur Mahal ('Light of the Palace'). Her abilities are said
to range from fashion designing to hunting. There is also a myth that she had once killed four tigers
with six bullets.
Death

The health of Jahangir was completely shattered by too much drinking of alcohol. He was trying to
restore it by visiting Kashmir and Kabul. He went from Kabul to Kashmir but returned to Lahore on
account of a severe cold. Jahangir died on the way from Kashmir in 1627 and was buried in Shahdara
Bagh, a suburb of Lahore, Punjab. He was succeeded by his third son, Prince Khurram who took the
title of Shah Jahan. Jahangir's elegant mausoleum is located in the Shahdara locale of Lahore and is a
popular tourist attraction in Lahore. On his death in 1627 he uttered 'Kashmir only Kashmir'.

 Reign

Jahangir promised to protect Islam and granted general amnesty to his opponents. He was also
notable for his patronage of the arts, especially of painting. During his reign the distinctive style of
Mughal painting expanded and blossomed. Jahangir supported a flourishing culture of court painters.

Jahangir is most famous for his golden "chain of justice." The chain was setup as a link between his
people and Jahangir himself. Standing outside the castle of Agra with sixty bells, anyone was capable
of pulling the chain and having a personal hearing from Jahangir himself.

Sovereignty, according to Jahangir, was a "gift of God" not necessarily given to enforce God's law but
rather to "ensure the contentment of the world." In civil cases, Islamic law applied to Muslims, Hindu
law applied to Hindus, while criminal law was the same for both Muslims and Hindus[citation needed].
In matters like marriage and inheritance, both communities had their own laws that Jahangir
respected. Thus Jahangir was able to deliver justice to people in accordance of their beliefs, and also
keep his hold on empire by unified criminal law.

Jahangir's relationship with other rulers of the time is one that was well documented by Sir Thomas
Roe, especially his relationship with the Persian King, Shah Abbas. Though conquest was one of
Jahangir's many goals, he was a naturalist and lover of the arts and did not have quite the same
warrior ambition of the Persian king. This led to a mutual enmity that, while diplomatically hidden, was
very clear to observers within Jahangir's court.

Autobiography

a number of his observations are detailed in Tuzk-e-Jahangiri, also referred to as Jahangirnama.

He liked paintings and collected many of them in his palace. Some of them are still found in museums.
