In The Great Khan’s Tent Presents: The Later Mughals Episode II

In the Great Khan’s Tent

In this episode of In The Great Khan’s Tent Presents: The Later Mughals we continue with the struggle of the three sons of Aurangzeb, this time focusing on the two strongest candidates, Bahadur Shah and Azim Shah and the beginning of the culmination of this conflict with the start of the battle of Jajau on the 20th of June 1707 C.E. Azam Shah’s struggles with the loyalty of some of his prominent supporters and their own competing interests began to be more clearer in this episode with the culmination of the actions taken by two prominent supporters, Zulfikar Khan and Raja Jai Singh Kachhwaha, and how it effected the struggle at Jajau. As in the last episode, Azam Shah’s own personality faults can be attributed to result from Aurangzeb’s own suspicious nature also plays a role in how he reacted to ongoing developments.
