Dawar Bakhsh (Persian: داور بخش; died 23 January 1628), which means "God Given", was the ruler of the Mughal Empire for a short time between 1627–1628, immediately after the death of his grandfather Jahangir (r. 1605–1627).
Dawar was the child of Jahangir's eldest son, Prince Khusrau, who was killed at the behest of Prince Khurram (Shah Jahan) in 1622.[2]
Dawar, who was affectionately nicknamed "Bulaqi" (meaning "Nose-ring"),[3] was initially named the Diwan of the Dakhin, and later Governor of Gujarat in 1622 by his grandfather, Jahangir.[4][5][6] However, being only fifteen years old at this point, the prince was placed under the guardianship of his maternal grandfather, Mirza Aziz Koka.[7]
Upon the death of his grandfather, he became a pawn in the political game to seize the Mughal throne. He was declared the Mughal Emperor by Asaf Khan as a stopgap arrangement to counter the claims of the Nur Jahan, who wanted Shahryar to succeed.
