Why is King Akbar still remembered?

Answer 1

King Akbar is still remembered for many different reasons. Here are just a few: (1) He was able to conquer the whole of Hindustan and had it under his rule. (2) He was unable to read or write yet he was very very wise, he had understanding of others needs and not just his. This is shown clearly when he removed a tax from the land at that time that was hurting the people. (3) He was a Muslim and he wanted to unite Muslims and Hindus under this one nation, then Hindustan, so that all people can live without any kind of religious discrimination. This is shown clearly in his actions when he married a Hindu princess. Even in today's world, interreligious marraige between a Muslim and one possessing another religion can result in the death of both parties. This is found in Muslim nations. (4) He removed a tax that was hurting the Hindus at that time. This resulted in relief financially for the people. (5) He was a man of war and a man of change. Leaders like this we cannot find in today's world. Our countries are crying for leaders like this. What a King !!!!
