There are some historians who believed that the controversial Sheikhoo Shehzada Saleem (Emperor Jehangir) was converted to Christianity? It is said Christian missionaries started working in his era.
Whats the truth behind this? If this is a propaganda, what are the reasons behind such rumors?

Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
never heard of this…
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
Jehangir was quite tolerant towards religions like his father Akbar (ignoring his behavior with Sikh guru that was more political and due to refuge given by guru to rebel prince Khusrau) . He gave permission to East India Company to establish business in India, which finally resulted losing Mughals their power over India.
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
I dont think its true!
btw,Hiran Minar was constructed by Jehangir right?
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
Was he tolerant, or just so drunk in his power he didn’t care about anything/was blinded? More so the second with tons of our historical leaders
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
Yes famous Hiran Minar of Shaikhoo poora was built by him in memory to his beloved Deer namely Mansukh.
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
You mean like other rulers religion was not his priority?
He was blinded only in love of Nurjehan to whom he sold the rule just for some wine and meat.
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
he made this monument for his dear deer 
wow!!
all I know about Jehangir that he was the third child, because Akhbar other kids died after birth or at young age, and he was born after loads of prayers, I think he was named something else, then it got changed to Jehangir! his mother was a revert Muslim I think!
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
He was born after Akbar’s mannat at Saleem u din Chishti Drabar and therefore was named Saleem. His nick name was Sheikhoo. It is also believed that Akbar travelled bare footed (nange paon) to saint Chishti’s mazar. Some historian also says that Saint Chishti’s daughter was jehangir’s foster mother.
BTW, do you remember we discussed how Khussa become Saleem Shahi?
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
He was named after Sheikh Salim Chisti, Akbar requested him to pray for a son for him. Akbar later constructed Fatehpur Sikri around the premises of Dargah:)
I think all these are stories spread by missionaries to attain the purpose of conversion:)
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
No, I dont 
khussa name was changed to Saleem Shahi after Jehangir?
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
Discussed in this thread:

Over time the material was replaced — wood was hefty and heavy whereas in an agrarian society not only was leather easily available but also light and soft. The Lahore Museum showcases in its Islamic Gallery archaic khussas which are hand-crafted leather shoes. Although in use by the rural population for centuries, the khussa arrived in the palaces of the Mughal Empire much later and it was then that its history started to be recorded. The rural word khussa was replaced by the more eloquent Saleem Shahi. Saleem was also the nickname of the Mughal Emperor Jehangir (17th century AD).
Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?
so I was right
