Akbar was the son of Humayun, who had already expanded the Mughal Empire in India. After defeating in the battle of Chaura and Kannauj in Chausa and Kanauj in 1539-40, Mughal Emperor Humayun went to the west and went to Sindh, where he met 14-year-old Hamida Banu Begum, daughter of Shaikh Ali Akbar. He married them and the following year Jalaluddin Muhammad was born on October 15, 1542 in Rajput house in Umkot of Sindh (which is now in Pakistan) where his parents gave shelter to the local Hindu Rana Prasad of his place.
After the long exile of Mughal ruler Humayun, Akbar established Kabul with his entire family. Where his uncle Kamaran Mirza and Asrari Mirza lived. He used to hunt his old youth, learn to fight, fight, flee, who made him a powerful, fearless and brave warrior. But in his entire life, he never taught to write or read.
It is said that whenever they needed to read something, they kept someone with them, who had to read it. In November 1551, Akbar married Kabul's Rukaiya. Queen Rukaiya was the daughter of his uncle, Hindal Mirza. Who was his first and chief wife. His first marriage was by Akbar's father and the uncle of Rukaiya. After the death of Hindal Mirza, Humayun took his place.
After defeating Sher Shah Suri for the first time, in Humayun, Delhi was restored in 1555 and there he built a huge army. And only a few months later, Humayun died.
To make Akbar a successful powerful king, Akbar's guardian hid his father's death from him. And finally defeating Sikandar Shah on February 14, 1556, succeeded in the war of Akbar and from that he started to expand the Mughal empire.
In Kalanaur, Punjab, Bairam Khan was handed over the throne of 13 years to Akbar, so that he could establish a new vast empire for himself. Where he was named "King of Kings" Bairam Khan always supported Akbar.
Akbar was a brave and powerful ruler who had grabbed all the areas around Godavari river and had also joined him in the Mughal empire. On the basis of their infinite military force, immense power and economic strength, they were gradually going to rule over many states of India.
Akbar wanted to make his empire the biggest and happy empire, so he adopted several types of policies that would allow his state's people to live happily.
As his empire was vast, some of them were also from Hindu Dharma, for their interests, they adopted the Hindu Emperor's policy and implemented them in the Mughal Empire. They wanted to overcome discrimination between different religions. Because of his humble nature, he considered them to be a great king. And gladly lived in his empire.
While introducing his religious tolerance towards the Hindus, he removed the tax named 'Jijiya' upon him. The greatest effort that Akbar tried to do in his life was the establishment of a religion called 'Din-i-Elahi'.
He tried to establish it in the form of sostharma. In 1575, he had established an Ebaddhkhana (prayer house) which was open to all the people, he also used to discuss religious discussions with the heads of other religions.
He gave a lot of encouragement to literature and art. Many texts, paintings and buildings were built during his reign. There were nine scholars specializing in various subjects in their court, which were called 'Navaratna'.
Akbar is counted among the liberal rulers of India. In the entire medieval history, he has become the only Muslim ruler who, after understanding the importance of Hindu-Muslim unity, sought to build an all India.
In the famous rulers of India, Mughal Emperor Akbar is leading, he was the only Mughal emperor who introduced some generosity towards the Hindu majority.
Gradually, the Mughal Empire expanded in India and a stable economic situation was coming into the state. Akbar was very busy with art and culture, so he paid more attention to the development of these two during his reign. He was also very fond of literature, so he wrote 2400 volumes and published them in the library.
In his empire there were soldiers of many languages such as Hindu, Sanskrit, Greek, Persian etc. Akbar established a religion called Din-i-Elahi for reducing the interaction between Hindus and Muslims.
His court was always open for everyone. Akbar built many Persian culture pictures on his walls. During his early reign, Akbar had no tolerance towards Hindus, but with time he also showed his interest in revenge and other religions, including Hindus.
Akbar also married a Hindu Rajput princess. One of his queens was Jodha Bai Rajput. There were many Hindu courtiers, military officers and feudents in Akbar's court. He started a unique series of religious discussions and debate programs, in which Muslim Alem people used to have discussions with Jains, learners, Hindus, atheists, Portuguese and Catholic theologians.
The Mughal empire was affected only by Indian history. Their strength and economic status was steadily increasing. Akbar had made the world's most powerful army with his economic force, which was impossible for anyone to defeat.
Akbar had also stopped recovering those who were not Muslim, and he was the first emperor to do so, and at the same time he was the first emperor to be the only Muslim who is not a Muslim. After Akbar, his success was his empire from his son Jahangir.
On 3 October 1605, Akbar suffered from dysentery, which he could never recover. He died on 27 October 1605, after which his Samadhi was built in Agra.
Akbar was one of the great and brave emperors of the Mughal Empire. They never discriminated between Muslims and Hindus in these two religions. And in their empire, everyone treated the same as equal to everyone. In the history, we see Jodhaa-Akbar's love story world famous.
