The incentive of carrying on his memoirs ended in the seventeenth year of his rule due to breakdown in his health after which they were continued by Mu'tamad Khan till the 19th year of Jahangir's power, under his pseudo name. The memoirs were conclusively written out in the narrative of Iqbal-nama of which Mu'tamad Khan was the distinguished author.The present Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri or Memoirs of Jahangir give a lively picture of India in the early decades of the seventeenth century and are a valuable supplement to the Akbar-nama and other such writings of the time.Jahangir's autobiography also reflects the royal ideology of Jahangir's views on various political, religious and social issues. Within the memoir, he noted many of his local level legislative policies in his large empire consisting of most of modern-day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Among them were his decrees to manage and regulate the jagirdars. Jagirdars were holders of the jagir, the emperor's land grant title.
