Prominent Features of Jahangir’s Rule:

After his coronation, he assumed the title of Nur-ud-din Muhammad Jahangir Badshah Ghazi.

Important features of his reign are as under:

First, Jahangir is perhaps the only ruler who although ruled for about 22 years but for about 16 years he was only a ruler in name only as during this period, his wife Nur Jahan was the virtual ruler.

Second, he is famous for his ‘golden chain of justice’.

Third, his twelve orders issued in the early period of his reign showed his great concern for the welfare of his subjects.

Fourth, long drawn war between Mewar and the Mughals came to an end.

Fifth, relations between the Mughal rulers and the Sikhs began to deteriorate.

Sixth, two visitors namely Captain W.Cook and Sir Thomas Rao came to the court of Jahangir. The latter who was the ambassador of King James was able to get permission from Jahangir allowing the English to trade at Surat. With the passage of time, trade was followed by rule of the English over India.
