Frases de Sha Jahan

Shah Jahan I fue el constructor del Taj Mahal, hijo del Emperador Jahangir y de su esposa Bibi Bilqis Makani , princesa rajput de Marwar ; de hecho su abuela paterna era también una princesa hindú rajput de Amber , por lo que el setenta y cinco por ciento de sus antepasados eran príncipes hindúes. Gobernó entre 1627 y 1658, cuando su hijo Aurangzeb lo confinó en el fuerte de Agra.

Durante gran parte de su reinado, hasta 1648, su capital fue Agra y después se mudó a Delhi, cuando la reconstrucción del Shahjahanabad, el fuerte de Delhi, otra de sus grandes obras. Pero se lo recuerda sin duda como quien mandó labrar el célebre trono del Pavo real y levantó el Taj Mahal, sin olvidar la mezquita de los Viernes de Delhi, los jardines de Shalimar en Lahore, la mezquita que lleva su nombre en Sind y la tumba de su hija favorita Jahanara Begum, joyas únicas de la civilización komol.
