Dawar Bakhsh was the name given to Bulaki, the son of Jahangir's second son Khusrau, when he was temporarily enthroned at Lahore by Yaminud-Daula Asaf Khan, following Jahangir's death on 28 Safar, AH 1037. Asaf Khan's tactic was prompted by the fear that Nur Jahan, the all-powerful queen of Jahangir might crown Shahriyar, the fourth son of Jahangir, as the emperor. The Khutba was read in Dawar Bakhsh's name at Bhimbar. His position was bolstered by his brothers and cousins joining him. Asaf Khan first defeated Shahryar's army on the outskirts of Lahore and then having secured Shah Jahan's agreement, proclaimed him as the emperor on 2 Jumada-I 1037. The puppet Dawar Bakhsh was killed along with his brothers and cousins who had sided with him by Shah Jahan's orders on 26 Jumada-I 1037, thus bringing his short reign to an end. His role was thus limited to be a 'sacrificial goat' to pave way for Shah Jahan to succeed to the imperial throne.
