Born in March 1615, Dara Shukoh was the eldest son of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, granted the title Prince of High Rank and groomed by his father and elder sister Jahanara Begum as the empire's next ruler. He spent his energy on mysticism and the arts rather than warfare, authoring The Confluence of the Two Seas - a work arguing that Sufi and Vedanta philosophy shared common ground. When Shah Jahan fell ill in 1657, the succession turned violent: Dara's younger brother Muhiuddin, later known as Aurangzeb, defeated him in battle. On 30 August 1659, Aurangzeb had him executed. Historians still wonder what the subcontinent would have become had the philosopher-prince outlasted the orthodox younger brother.
