===Education=== As a child, Khurram received a broad education befitting his status as a Mughal prince, which included [[war|martial training]] and exposure to a wide variety of cultural arts, such as [[Persian poetry|poetry]] and music, most of which were inculcated, according to court chroniclers, by Jahangir. According to his chronicler Qazvini, prince Khurram was only familiar with a few [[chagatai language|Turki]] words and showed little interest in the study of the language as a child.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.281500/page/n43/mode/2up?q=turki |title=History Of Shahjahan Of Dihli 1932 |author=Banarsi Prasad Saksena |publisher=Indian Press Limited |date=1932}}</ref> Khurram was attracted to [[Hindi]] literature since his childhood, and his Hindi letters were mentioned in his father's biography, [[Tuzk-e-Jahangiri|''Tuzuk-e-Jahangiri'']].<ref>{{ cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=AbpjAAAAMAAJ&q=shah+jahan+hindi+literature |title= Influence of Islam on Hindi Literature |author= Saiyada Asad AlΔ« |year= 2000 |publisher= Idarah-i-Adabiyat-Delli |page= 48 }}</ref> In 1605, as Akbar lay on his deathbed, young Khurram remained by his bedside and refused to move even after his mother tried to retrieve him. Given the politically uncertain times immediately preceding Akbar's death, Khurram was in a fair amount of physical danger from political opponents of his father.<ref>{{harvnb|Prasad|1930|p=189}} "During his grandfather's last illness, he [Khurram] refused to leave the bedside surrounded by his enemies. Neither the advice of his father nor the entreaties of his mother could prevail on him to prefer the safety of his life to his last duty to the father."</ref> He was at last ordered to return to his quarters by the senior women of his grandfather's household, namely [[Salima Sultan Begum]] and his grandmother [[Mariam-uz-Zamani]] as Akbar's health deteriorated.<ref>{{harvnb|Nicoll|2009|p=49}}</ref>
