===Khusrau rebellion=== In 1605, his father succeeded to the throne, after crushing a rebellion by [[Khusrau Mirza|Prince Khusrau]]. Khurram left Ruqaiya's care and returned to his mother's care.<ref name="Faruqui">{{cite book|last=Faruqui|first=Munis D.|title=The Princes of the Mughal Empire, 1504β1719|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2012|isbn=978-1-107-02217-1|page=71}}</ref> As the third son, Khurram did not challenge the two major power blocs of the time, his father's and his half-brother's; thus, he enjoyed the benefits of imperial protection and luxury while being allowed to continue with his education and training. This relatively quiet and stable period of his life allowed Khurram to build his own support base in the Mughal court, which would be useful later on in his life.<ref>{{harvnb|Nicoll|2009|p=56}}</ref> Jahangir assigned Khurram to guard the palace and treasury while he went to pursue Khusrau. He was later ordered to bring Mariam-uz-Zamani, his grandmother and Jahangir's harem to him.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Emperor |first=Jahangir |title=The Jahangirnama |publisher=Freer Gallery of Art, Arthur M.

Khurram relayed this information to Jahangir who praised him.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Emperor |first=Jahangir |title=The Jahangirnama |publisher=Freer Gallery of Art, Arthur M.
