Jahangiror Jehangir(born Aug. 31, 1569, Fatehpur, Sikri, India—died Oct. 28, 1627, en route to Lahore) Mughal emperor of India (1605–27). Though designated heir apparent, the impatient Jahangir revolted in 1599; his father, Akbar, nevertheless confirmed him as his successor. Like Akbar, Jahangir managed diplomatic relations on the Indian subcontinent adroitly, was tolerant of non-Muslims, and was a great patron of the arts. He encouraged Persian culture in Mughal India. During the middle portion of his reign, politics were dominated by his Persian wife (Nur Jahan), her father, and Jahangir's son Prince Khurram (the future Shah Jahan).
