    I was reading about Mughal history, and I figured out that the Mughal emperors, like all emperors and kings were odd.

    Here's a little story I wanted to share.

    When the emperor Jehangir took the throne he faced opposition from his own son Prince Kushraw. After he defeated his son and confined him to the Agra fort, the Prince wanted to murder his father. The conspiracy was discovered, and the punishment for the Prince was being blinded! After he tried to murder his own father, his father had him blinded! That's not a very good father-son relationship! Later Jehangir tried to restore his sons eyesight out of "love". My take on that is you should think before you decide to blind your own son!
