Jahangir was very good at strategizing and strengthening the Mughal empire but Jahangir was very much interested in arts, especially painting. During his reign of 25 years, the emperor commissioned many paintings which included several portraits of himself.
Because of his interest in paintings, the Mughal paintings flourished and it provided an opportunity for many artists to show their talent to the emperor and empress. Jahangir was greatly influenced by European paintings and architecture. Jahangir also took advice from various English ambassadors to oversee the paintings.
He encouraged many artists in his court to paint his real-life portraits, the birds, animals, and flowers. Jahangir encouraged art and welcomed artists from all across the world to present their talent in the Mughal court. Though Akbar captured most of the northern territory, he had failed to capture regions in South India and few regions such as Mewar in Rajasthan. After becoming the emperor of the Mughal dynasty at the age of 36, Jahangir was on a mission to capture all the territories which his father failed to capture during his reign.
An expedition led by Parwez was sent to conquer but the mission was called off as a result of his son Khusrau Mirza, who revolted against him and was working with Rana Amar Singh.
Jahangir after defeating his son, Khusrau Mirza sent another expedition to Mewar, and this time he was very successful in making Rana Amar Singh of Mewer surrender before him, which resulted in signing a peace treaty in between Jahangir and Rana Amar Singh. After conquering Mewar, Jahangir turned his attention towards South India. Jahangir was on a mission to conquer Ahmednagar but despite his best efforts, Jahangir was not able to have complete control over regions like Ahmednagar, Bijapur, and Golconda.
The ruler of Bijapur was successful in arranging a peace treaty between Jahangir and Malik Ambar, the Wazir of Ahmednagar. Due to this treaty few forts and the territory of Balaghat was given to the Mughal empire. Jahangir was able to get a few forts and territories in South India because of various treaties he signed with many rulers of South India but was never able to completely conquer the south throughout his life.
Jahangir was not a very religious person but he practiced Islam and had faith in God. He was never biased against people because of their religion. When it came to handling his subjects he did not grant special powers to his administrators because they were Muslims nor did he burden the taxes on Hindu. Jahangir was not on good terms with the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjun Dev which resulted in an increase in the tension between the Sikhs and the Mughals for a very long time.
Jahangir also beheaded Guru Arjun Dev which caused many people to truly hate him. Despite the fact that Jahangir was not on very good terms with the Sikhs he was attracted towards the Christain themes which were because of his keen interest in European art and culture.
