Evidence from the reign of Shah Jahan states that in 1648 the army consisted of 911,400 infantry, musketeers, and artillery men, and 185,000 Sowars commanded by princes and nobles.
During his reign the Marwari horse was introduced, becoming Shah Jahan's favourite, and various Mughal cannons were mass-produced in the Jaigarh Fort. Under his rule, the empire became a huge military machine and the nobles and their contingents multiplied almost fourfold, as did the demands for more revenue from their citizens. But due to his measures in the financial and commercial fields, it was a period of general stability—the administration was centralised and court affairs systematised.
The Mughal Empire continued to expand moderately during his reign as his sons commanded large armies on different fronts. India at the time was a rich centre of the arts, crafts and architecture, and some of the best of the architects, artisans, craftsmen, painters and writers of the world resided in Shah Jahan's empire. It is believed that at the time the Mughal Empire had the highest gross domestic product in the world.
Shah Jahan annexed the Rajput confederates of Baglana, Mewar and Bundelkhand. He then chose his 16-year-old son Aurangzeb to serve in his place and subdue the rebellion by the Bundela Rajputs led by Jhujhar Singh.

Answer:
The Shihab al-Din Shah Jahan, the imperial name of Muhammad Khurram, was the fifth emperor of the Mughal Empire.
Explanation:
- Shah Jahan, Jahangir's third son, took part in the military wars against the Lodis of Deccan and the Rajputs of Mewar. Shah Jahan conquered his younger brother Shahryar Mirza and declared himself emperor in the Agra Fort following the death of Jahangir in October 1627.
- Along with Shahryar, Shah Jahan also put to death the majority of his rivals for the throne. He ordered the construction of numerous structures, including the Red Fort, the Shah Jahan Mosque, and the Taj Mahal, the final resting place of his favourite wife Mumtaz Mahal.
- While fostering cordial ties with the Ottoman Empire, Shah Jahan oversaw strong expeditions against the Deccan Sultanates, battles with the Portuguese, and confrontations with the Safavids.
Thus, Islamic revivalist movements like the Naqsbandi started to influence Mughal policies during Shah Jahan's reign.
