Section 2 I instituted ... special regulations ... as rules of conduct, never to be deviated from in their respective stations.
1. I remitted [canceled] altogether to my subjects three sources of revenue taxes or duties
2. I directed, when the district lay waste or destitute of inhabitants, that towns should be built.
3. Merchants traveling through the country were not to have their bales or packages of any kind opened without their consent
5. No person was permitted either to make or sell either wine or any other kind of intoxicating liquor. I undertook to institute this regulation, although it is sufficiently notorious that I have myself the strongest inclination for wine, in which from the age of sixteen I have liberally indulged
7. No person was to suffer, for any offense, the loss of a nose or ear. If the crime were theft, the offender was to be scourged with thorns, or deterred from further transgression by an attestation on the Koran.
8. [High officials] were prohibited from possess-ing themselves by violence of the lands of the subject, or from cultivating them on their own account...
10. The governors in all the principal cities were directed to establish infirmaries or hospitals, with competent medical aid for the relief of the sick

Questions to Consider
1. Keeping in mind Akbar’s reforms, what were the causes and consequences of Jahangir's regulations?

2. How does the context of South Asian history (political unity of South Asia is the exception, not the rule) help us understand Jahangir’s decision to issue these regulations?
