Aurangzeb Executed Dara Shikoh—But What Happened to His Children?

Aurangzeb executed his brother Dara Shikoh after one of the most devastating succession wars in Mughal history—but Dara’s death was only the beginning. What happened to his wife, sons, daughters and grandchildren after Aurangzeb seized the throne? This historical documentary follows the tragic fate of Dara Shikoh’s family. Discover how Sulaiman Shikoh was captured and imprisoned inside Gwalior Fort, why Sipihr Shikoh remained confined for nearly thirteen years, and how Dara’s daughters and granddaughters were eventually married into Aurangzeb’s own family. Were these marriages acts of reconciliation, political control, or a calculated attempt to absorb a defeated bloodline?
