"The fourth Mughal Emperor Jahangir had a unique position in the history of our sub-continent. Greatly supported by his dynamic wife, Nur Jahan, he achieved success in several spheres. He administered justice in a humane way. He had to face complex problems in North India. This work deals with issues having bearing on his administration of twenty-two years.

"Undoubtedly this book would be a useful study for teachers, scholars and students in India and abroad." (jacket)
