Answer
Ans. The Mughal emperor Jahangir ordered the execution of Guru Arjan Dev, because by the beginning of the seventeenth century the town of Ramdaspur (Amritsar) developed around the central Gurdwara called Harmandar Sahib (Golden Temple). It was like a state with self governing. The Mughal emperor saw this development as potential threat. So he ordered the execution.
