Prince Khurram showed extraordinary military talent. The first occasion for Khurram to test his military prowess was during the Mughal campaign against the [[Rajput]] state of [[Mewar]], which had been a hostile force to the Mughals since Akbar's reign.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Emperor |first=Jahangir |title=The Jahangirnama |publisher=Freer Gallery of Art, Arthur M.

After a year of a harsh [[war of attrition]], Rana [[Amar Singh I]] surrendered conditionally to the Mughal forces and became a [[vassal state]] of the Mughal Empire as a result of Mughal expedition of Mewar.<ref>{{harvnb|Prasad|1930|p=239}} "Constant skirmishes were thinning the Rajput ranks ... [Amar Singh] offered to recognize Mughal supremacy ... Jahangir gladly and unreservedly accepted the terms."</ref> In 1615, Khurram presented Kunwar Karan Singh, Amar Singh's heir, to Jahangir. Khurram was sent to pay homage to his mother and stepmothers and was later awarded by Jahangir.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Emperor |first=Jahangir |title=The Jahangirnama |publisher=Freer Gallery of Art, Arthur M.

In 1616, on Khurram's departure to Deccan, Jahangir awarded him the title '''Shah Sultan Khurram'''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Emperor |first=Jahangir |title=The Jahangirnama |publisher=Freer Gallery of Art, Arthur M.

In 1617, Khurram was directed to deal with the [[Lodi (Pashtun tribe)|Lodis]] in the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] to secure the Empire's southern borders and to restore imperial control over the region. On his return in 1617, after successes in these campaigns, Khurram performed koronush before Jahangir, who called him to jharoka and rose from his seat to embrace him. Jahangir also granted him the title of '''Shah Jahan''' (Persian: "King of the World"),<ref>{{cite book |last1=Middleton |first1=John |title=World Monarchies and Dynasties |publisher=Routledge |year=2015 |isbn=978-1-317-45158-7 |page=451 |language=en}}</ref> and raised his military rank to 30000/20000 and allowed him a special throne in his [[Durbar (court)|Durbar]], an unprecedented honor for a prince.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Emperor |first=Jahangir |title=The Jahangirnama |publisher=Freer Gallery of Art, Arthur M.
