History of India, 1628 AD, Jehangir died and was succeeded by Shah Jahan
In 1628 AD, Mughal Emperor Jehangir died, and he was succeeded by his son, Shah Jahan.
Shah Jahan had inherited a vast empire from his father, which extended from present-day Afghanistan to Bangladesh.
Shah Jahan was known for his patronage of the arts and architecture, and he built famous monuments such as the Taj Mahal in Agra, and the Red Fort in Delhi.
India's economy flourished during Shah Jahan's rule, due to his policies of encouraging trade and commerce.
He also encouraged the development of literature and art, rewarding poets and scholars who wrote in Persian and other languages.
He also maintained cordial relations with the European traders, particularly the British and the Dutch.
During his reign, several literary works were composed in Persian, including the Ain-i-Akbari and the Dabestan-e-Mazahib.
