[32] Such was the impact of these weapons that Akbar's Vizier, Abul Fazl, once declared that "with the exception of Turkey, there is perhaps no country in which its guns has more means of securing the Government than [India]. [44] Simultaneously the Mirzas, a group of Akbar's distant cousins who held important fiefs near Agra, had also risen up in rebellion. [81] Indeed, Akbar would make concerted efforts to improve roads to facilitate the use of wheeled vehicles through the Khyber Pass, the most popular route frequented by traders and travellers in journeying from Kabul into Mughal India. The only centre of Afghan power was now in Bengal, where Sulaiman Khan Karrani, an Afghan chieftain whose family had served under Sher Shah Suri, was reigning in power. Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khana was also the step son of Salima Sultan Begum.Salima Begum was the second wife of Bairam Khan. [46] The Mughals had already established domination over parts of northern Rajputana in Mewat, Ajmer, and Nagor. M. J. Akbar was born to Shri Sheikh Akbar Ali and Shrimati Imtiaz Akbar in a Muslim family in Telinipara, West Bengal. The section called "Akbar Bahshaha Varnan", written in Sanskrit, describes his birth as a "reincarnation" of a sage who immolated himself on seeing the first Mughal ruler Babur, who is described as the "cruel king of Mlecchas (Muslims)". Following a brief confrontation, however, Muhammad Hakim accepted Akbar's supremacy and retreated back to Kabul. The soul is encouraged to purify itself through yearning of God. He was fond of literature, and created a library of over 24,000 volumes written in Sanskrit, Urdu, Persian, Greek, Latin, Arabic and Kashmiri, staffed by many scholars, translators, artists, calligraphers, scribes, bookbinders and readers. Akbar and his forces occupied Lahore and then seized Multan in the Punjab. Subsequently, he celebrated the victories over Chittor and Ranthambore by laying the foundation of a new walled capital, 23 miles (37 km) west of Agra in 1569, which was named Fatehpur ("town of victory") after the conquest of Gujarat in 1573 and subsequently came to be known as Fatehpur Sikri in order to distinguish it from other similarly named towns. Akbar made Man Singh one of the Navaratnas (nine gems) of the royal court and later Man Singh’s daughter Manorama Bai was married off to Dara Shikoh, eldest son and heir-apparent of fifth Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. As a conclusion, after analyzing many textbooks, Mubarak Ali says that "Akbar is criticized for bringing Muslims and Hindus together as one nation and putting the separate identity of the Muslims in danger. One of Hindal's jagir was given to his nephew, Akbar, who was appointed as its viceroy and was also given the command of his uncle's army. although this son of akbar was an extremely weak ruler, he wisely left the affairs of state to his more capable wife. [198] In 1593, he married the daughter of Qazi Isa, and the cousin of Najib Khan. [85], Other Rajput kingdoms also established matrimonial alliances with Akbar, but matrimony was not insisted on as a precondition for forming alliances. [111] The Mughals eventually set out for Surat, and their return was assisted by the Ottoman Pasha in Jeddah. Abdul Rahim was the son of Bairam Khan, who was the trusted military general, and guardian of Akbar. [53] In 1572, he moved to occupy Ahmedabad, the capital, and other northern cities, and was proclaimed the lawful sovereign of Gujarat. [22] Humayun conferred on the imperial couple, all the wealth, army, and adherents of Hindal and Ghazni which one of Hindal's jagir was given to his nephew, Akbar, who was appointed as its viceroy and was also given the command of his uncle's army. Akbar's reign significantly influenced the course of Indian history. Akbar, however, spurred them on. [106][page needed] In October 1576 Akbar sent a delegation including members of his family, including his aunt Gulbadan Begum and his consort Salima, on Hajj by two ships from Surat including an Ottoman vessel, which reached the port of Jeddah in 1577 and then proceeded towards Mecca and Medina. Jodha bai was the most favourite queen of Akbar, the great, the most famous of the Mughul emperors. Akbar introduced coins with decorative floral motifs, dotted borders, quatrefoil and other types. [83] Akbar's portrait type gold coin (Mohur) is generally attributed to his son, Prince Salim (later Emperor Jahangir), who had rebelled and then sought reconciliation thereafter by minting and presenting his father with gold Mohur's bearing Akbar's portrait. [44] Furthermore, Akbar, at this early period, was still enthusiastically devoted to the cause of Islam and sought to impress the superiority of his faith over the most prestigious warriors in Brahminical Hinduism. The Afridi and Orakzai tribes, which had risen up under the Roshaniyyas, had been subjugated. [44] He pardoned the rebellious leaders, hoping to conciliate them, but they rebelled again, so Akbar had to quell their uprising a second time. [86], The Kacchwaha Rajput, Raja Bharmal, of the small kingdom of Amer, who had come to Akbar's court shortly after the latter's accession, entered into an alliance by giving his daughter in marriage to the emperor. Born to King Bhagwant Das and his queen Bhagawati of Amber, he was about eight years younger to Akbar and ten years younger to Rana Pratap. [121] Shortly afterwards, Akbar's army completed its annexation of Kabul, and in order to further secure the north-western boundaries of his empire, it proceeded to Qandahar. [44] Akbar did not personally lead the campaign because he was preoccupied with the Uzbek rebellion, leaving the expedition in the hands of Asaf Khan, the Mughal governor of Kara. Shams belonged to the great men of the country, and had long cherished this wish. [169], Abul Fazl, and even the hostile critic Badayuni, described him as having a commanding personality. He did not leave Fatehpur Sikri on a military campaign until 1581, when Punjab was again invaded by his brother, Mirza Muhammad Hakim. When Akbar’s son, Jahangir, took the throne, Abdul also served on his court. The reign of Akbar was characterised by commercial expansion. The culprit was a slave of Mirza Sharfuddin, a noble in Akbar’s court whose rebellion had recently been curbed. [125], Akbar was also visited by the French explorer Pierre Malherbe. [61] The leaders of the movement were captured and driven into exile. In 1551, Hindal Mirza died fighting valorously in a battle against Kamran Mirza's forces. [58] Akbar left Kabul in the hands of his sister, Bakht-un-Nisa Begum, and returned to India. [113], According to some accounts Akbar expressed a desire to form an alliance with the Portuguese, mainly in order to advance his interests, but whenever the Portuguese attempted to invade the Ottomans, Akbar proved abortive. He has only one sibling, his sister, Gazala Akbar Sharma. In 1580, a rebellion broke out in the eastern part of Akbar's empire, and a number of fatwas, declaring Akbar to be a heretic, were issued by Qazis. [69] Akbar changed to a decentralised system of annual assessment, but this resulted in corruption among local officials and was abandoned in 1580, to be replaced by a system called the dahsala. Itimad Khan was sent with Miran's ambassadors, and when he came near the fort of Asir, which was Miran's residence. [139], Throughout his reign Akbar was a patron of influential Muslim scholars such as Mir Ahmed Nasrallah Thattvi and Tahir Muhammad Thattvi. [53] Akbar would celebrate his conquest of Rajputana by laying the foundation of a new capital, 23 miles (37 km) W.S.W of Agra in 1569. His forehead is broad and open, his eyes so bright and flashing that they seem like a sea shimmering in the sunlight. [70] Under the new system, revenue was calculated as one-third of the average produce of the previous ten years, to be paid to the state in cash. [171][better source needed] According to Jahangir's memoirs, he was fond of fruits and had little liking for meat, which he stopped eating in his later years. While Sulaiman Khan scrupulously avoided giving offence to Akbar, his son, Daud Khan, who had succeeded him in 1572, decided otherwise. The son of his nursemaid, a man called Adham Khan, killed another adviser in the palace after the victim discovered that Adham was embezzling tax funds. [53] Akbar was now the master of almost the whole of Rajputana. Thus, the foundations for a multicultural empire under Mughal rule were laid during his reign. A cultivated area where crops grew well was measured and taxed through fixed rates based on the area's crop and productivity. [158] Even as he was in the Punjab, 200 miles away from the Ganges, the water was sealed in large jars and transported to him. Meanwhile, the debates at the Ibadat Khana grew more acrimonious and, contrary to their purpose of leading to a better understanding among religions, instead led to greater bitterness among them, resulting in the discontinuance of the debates by Akbar in 1582. The assassin was apprehended and ordered beheaded by the Emperor. She was Akbar's chief wife. His mother was the Jamal Khan’s daughter. Most of the Rajput kings had submitted to the Mughals. Akbar was furious and cut off all ties with him. In following his father’s example, Salim Jahangir did not allow religious views to affect his policy as a ruler. She died on 19 January 1626. His idea of this religion did not discriminate other religions and focused on the ideas of peace, unity and tolerance. Akbar rode alone in advance of his escort and was confronted by a tigress who, along with her cubs, came out from the shrubbery across his path. [30] The Mansabdari system in particular has been acclaimed for its role in upholding Mughal power in the time of Akbar. Upon hearing the news of his brother's death, Humayun was overwhelmed with grief. [89] Tansen converted to Islam from Hinduism, apparently on the eve of his marriage with Akbar's daughter. [25][4], Following the chaos over the succession of Sher Shah Suri's son Islam Shah, Humayun reconquered Delhi in 1555, leading an army partly provided by his Persian ally Tahmasp I. Bharmal had conveyed to Akbar that he was being harassed by his brother-in-law Sharif-ud-din Mirza (the Mughal hakim of Mewat). Murad was born on 7th June 1570 in the house of the saint Shaikh Salim Chishti, at Fathabad (Fatehpur Sikri), Agra. [64], In 1593, Akbar received the exiled Safavid prince, Rostam Mirza, after he had quarrelled with his family. It includes vivid and detailed descriptions of his life and times. These Rajputs were made members of his court and their daughters' or sisters' marriage to a Muslim ceased to be a sign of degradation, except for certain proud elements who still considered it a sign of humiliation. Bharmal was made a noble of high rank in the imperial court, and subsequently his son Bhagwant Das and grandson Man Singh also rose to high ranks in the nobility. [62], Despite his pact with the Uzbeks, Akbar nurtured a secret hope of reconquering Central Asia from today's Afghanistan. [40], By 1559, the Mughals had launched a drive to the south into Rajputana and Malwa. The Mughal army was subsequently victorious at the Battle of Tukaroi in 1575, which led to the annexation of Bengal and parts of Bihar that had been under the dominion of Daud Khan. Jahangir blamed Abul Fazl for his father’s hostility and ordered the scholar to be killed. In 1600, when Akbar was away from the capital on an expedition, Salim broke into an open rebellion, and declared himself Emperor. In 1558, Akbar took possession of Ajmer, the aperture to Rajputana, after the defeat and flight of its Muslim ruler. [44][46] Durgavati committed suicide after her defeat at the Battle of Damoh, while Raja Vir Narayan was slain at the Fall of Chauragarh, the mountain fortress of the Gonds. Then he and Bairam Khan returned to Punjab to deal with Sikandar Shah, who had become active again. [141] However, his interaction with various religious theologians had convinced him that despite their differences, all religions had several good practices, which he sought to combine into a new religious movement known as Din-i-Ilahi. Akbar was a follower of Salim Chishti, a holy man who lived in the region of Sikri near Agra. [6], Hence, Sultan Murad Pahari has become the first person resulting from the amalgamation of Tibetan tantric Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity (Din-e-Ilahi).[7]. Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar, more famously known as Akbar the Great, was the third emperor of the Mughal Empire, after Babur and Humayun. [39] The Mughals had also besieged and defeated the Sur forces in control of Gwalior Fort, the greatest stronghold north of the Narmada river. The empire's permanent standing army was quite small and the imperial forces mostly consisted of contingents maintained by the mansabdars. Akbar left a rich legacy both for the Mughal Empire as well as the Indian subcontinent in general. [35] Sikandar Shah Suri, however, presented no major concern for Akbar,[36] and avoided giving battle as the Mughal army approached. In preparations to take Kandahar from the Safavids, Akbar ordered the Mughal forces to conquer the rest of the Afghan held parts of Baluchistan in 1595. [173] Such hagiographical accounts of Akbar traversed a wide range of denominational and sectarian spaces, including several accounts by Parsis, Jains and Jesuit missionaries, apart from contemporary accounts by Brahminical and Muslim orthodoxy. Akbar succeeded his father, Humayun, under a regent, Bairam Khan, who helped the young emperor expand and consolidate Mughal domains in India. Miran's request was acceded and an order was issued. Consequently, no matrimonial alliance was entered into, yet Surjan was made a noble and placed in charge of Garh-Katanga. His imperial name means 'conqueror of the world', 'world-conqueror' or 'world-seizer'. [94] At the initial meeting of the Mughals and the Portuguese during the Siege of Surat in 1572, the Portuguese, recognising the superior strength of the Mughal army, chose to adopt diplomacy instead of war. jahangir. [156], Akbar practised several Hindu customs. [64][65] The Mughal general, Mir Masum, led an attack on the stronghold of Sibi, situated to the northwest of Quetta and defeated a coalition of local chieftains in a pitched battle. [62] Dozens of forts were built and occupied to secure the region. Akbar made a triumphant entry into Delhi, where he stayed for a month. [163] [77] Each mansabdar was required to maintain a certain number of cavalrymen and twice that number of horses. [23] Akbar's marriage with Ruqaiya was solemnized in Jalandhar, Punjab, when both of them were 14-years-old. [13], On the other hand, his legacy is explicitly negative in Pakistan for the same reasons. Urged on by his foster mother, Maham Anga, and his relatives, Akbar decided to dispense with the services of Bairam Khan. [64] The Mughals also moved to conquer Sindh in the lower Indus valley. Akbar had to hastily return to Agra and restore order. His foster brother retained all the spoils and followed through with the Central Asian practice of slaughtering the surrendered garrison, their wives and children, and many Muslim theologians and Sayyids, who were the descendants of Muhammad. Murad Mirza (15 June 1570 – 12 May 1599 ) was a Mughal prince as the second surviving son of Mughal Emperor Akbar. Bhagwant Das’s son Man Singh emerged as one of the trusted generals of Akbar and became commander of 7000 cavalry in the Mughal forces on August 26, 1605. Akbar insisted that Bharmal should submit to him personally, it was also suggested that his daughter should be married to him as a sign of complete submission. In another turning point of Akbar's reign, Raja Man Singh I of Amber went with Akbar to meet the Hada leader, Surjan Hada, to effect an alliance. He celebrated Diwali, allowed Brahman priests to tie jewelled strings round his wrists by way of blessing, and, following his lead, many of the nobles took to wearing rakhi (protection charms). The two delivered the lady at Akbar's court where the marriage took place on 12 July 1577. [16] Akbar arranged this marriage, in order to exact more help from Khandesh for the Mughals‘ future operations in the Deccan. [18], During the extended period of Humayun's exile, Akbar was brought up in Kabul by the extended family of his paternal uncles, Kamran Mirza and Askari Mirza, and his aunts, in particular Kamran Mirza's wife. Akbar forgave him, however, and gave him the option of either continuing in his court or resuming his pilgrimage; Bairam chose the latter. He was also noted for various acts of courage.

[62] He sent an army to conquer Kashmir in the upper Indus basin when, in 1585, Ali Shah, the reigning king of the Shia Chak dynasty, refused to send his son as a hostage to the Mughal court. The attempt was made when Akbar was returning from a visit to the dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin near Delhi, by an assassin shooting an arrow. Ali Shah surrendered immediately to the Mughals, but another of his sons, Yaqub, crowned himself as king, and led a stubborn resistance to Mughal armies.

[53][56] Akbar intended to link the maritime state with the massive resources of the Indo-Gangetic plains. [28], Akbar was accorded the epithet "the Great" because of his many accomplishments,[29] including his record of unbeaten military campaigns that consolidated Mughal rule in the Indian subcontinent. Akbar accepted his proposal, and the marriage was arranged. He has broad shoulders, somewhat bandy legs well-suited for horsemanship, and a light brown complexion. Many favored Jahangir’s eldest son, Khusrau, to succeed Akbar as emperor, but Jahangir forcefully ascended days after Akbar's death. Baz Bahadur survived as a refugee at various courts until, eight years later in 1570, he took service under Akbar. [54] Rana Pratap Singh, however, continuously attacked Mughals and was able to retain most of the kingdom of his ancestors in the life of Akbar. Mughal India developed a strong and stable economy, leading to commercial expansion and greater patronage of culture. Surjan accepted an alliance on the condition that Akbar did not marry any of his daughters. His nose is straight and small though not insignificant. Akbar's response demonstrated his ability to clamp firm military control over the Afghan tribes. Jahangir adopted his father’s foreign policy both in Northern and Southern India. Over the next six years, the Mughals contained the Yusufzai in the mountain valleys, and forced the submission of many chiefs in Swat and Bajaur. [87] Akbar's policy of religious tolerance ensured that employment in the imperial administration was open to all on merit irrespective of creed, and this led to an increase in the strength of the administrative services of the empire. No imperial power in India based on the Indo-Gangetic plains could be secure if a rival centre of power existed on its flank in Rajputana. [41] However, Akbar's disputes with his regent, Bairam Khan, temporarily put an end to the expansion. Akbar was deeply interested in religious and philosophical matters. [82] The coins of Akbar's grandfather, Babur, and father, Humayun, are basic and devoid of any innovation as the former was busy establishing the foundations of the Mughal rule in India while the latter was ousted by the Afghan, Sher Shah Suri, and returned to the throne only to die a year later. Upon hearing the news of his brother's death, Humayun was overwhelmed with grief. [98], In September 1579 Jesuits from Goa were invited to visit the court of Akbar.

Akbar again invited Hiravijaya Suri's successor Vijayasena Suri in his court who visited him between 1593 and 1595.

A subsequent revolt forced Akbar to take the fort in August 1600. In 1584, 1592 and 1598, Akbar had declared "Amari Ghosana", which prohibited animal slaughter during Paryushan and Mahavir Jayanti. Bairam Khan did not approve of this marriage, for Abdullah's sister was married to Akbar's uncle, Prince Kamran Mirza, and so he regarded Abdullah as a partisan of Kamran. "[158], Akbar regularly held discussions with Jain scholars and was also greatly impacted by some of their teachings. [129] These sentiments were earlier encouraged by the teachings of popular saints like Guru Nanak, Kabir and Chaitanya,[128] the verses of the Persian poet Hafez which advocated human sympathy and a liberal outlook,[130] as well as the Timurid ethos of religious tolerance in the empire, persisted in the polity right from the times of Timur to Humayun, and influenced Akbar's policy of tolerance in matters of religion. This policy of Akbar contradicts the theory of Two-Nation and therefore makes him an unpopular figure in Pakistan. [58] Whereas Sulaiman Khan had the khutba read in Akbar's name and acknowledged Mughal supremacy, Daud Khan assumed the insignia of royalty and ordered the khutba to be proclaimed in his own name in defiance of Akbar. It is very well known that Bairam Khan was the guardian of Akbar during the early years of his reign. Akbar became the de jure king in 1556 at the age of 13 when his father died.
