Which of the following Mughal Emperor wrote his autobiography in Persian?

U.P.P.C.S. (Pre) 2001

A. Babur
B. Akbar
C. Jahangir
D. Aurangzeb

Answer: Jahangir

Option c is the correct answer. The "Tuzuk-e-Jahangiri," or "Jahangirnama," is the autobiographical account of Mughal Emperor Nur-ud-din Muhammad Jahangir (1569-1627), written in Persian. Like his ancestor Babur, Jahangir authored this work to immortalize his reign, but it delves deeper, capturing his artistic and political insights, family history, and even details about a hunting palace near Lahore. This autobiography serves as a crucial historical source for understanding the Mughal empire during Jahangir's rule, shedding light on his perspective and Mughal expansion into Bengal.
