Darab Khan was the son of Jahangir's most important minister, the Khan-e Khanan. He enjoyed favour at court until 1624 when he died fighting for the rebellious Shah Jahan against his father, Jahangir. Raja Man Singh, a highly placed minister at the courts of Akbar and Jahangir, entered Akbar's service in 1562 and went on to become governor of Bengal. Mulla Shukrullah, the revenue minister of Shah Jahan and also known as Afzal Khan, met his end at the hand of Shivaji, the leader of the Maratha rebellion in the Deccan. Prince Parviz, Jahangir's second son, remained loyal to his father throughout his life, unlike his brothers. 17thC(Early) (C-E) 18thC (A-B). Mughal Style 434 Portraits of Hindu Princes and Chiefs
