he does resemble nawaz

Blue: Yea, Kafur was captured in Gujarat I think & because he was purchased for 1000 Dinars by one of Khilji's generals was also called Hazaar-Dinaari.. Definitely a movie must be made on these 2!! Utterly fascinating. Kafur was deeply Wiley, cunning & really intelligent not to mention really handsome-- No wonder he was Khilji's paramour & advicer & confidante.. Until he poisoned him & ordered his princes eyes to be taken out like "melons" if am not mistaken.. Cannot even blame him. He clearly didn't feel much for Khilji.



Death stroke: Yes that's true. Akbar certainly was extremely licentious & is considered
To be the one to establish Meena Bazaar for the sole purpose of procuring beautiful women. Sodomy was not widespread only in his reign, it was practiced much before him by his father & great-grandfather!! It was generally accepted. All of this is true but it's churlish to deny that Akbar was certainly not only far ahead of his time belie/religion-wise but was also a very compassionate ruler who greatly cared for his reign & subjects. The two are not mutually exclusive ESP in times where such practices were easily accepted & no-one really batted an eyelid.

Eww, history of mankind in general is disgusting 🤢

They say old is gold but I am sorry I rather live in the time we live in now. Slaves, men, women, kids abduction..wat else is left !!

Khilji was a brutal tyrant sadistic and a scumbag. He might have been brilliant administrator in rising above from a salve but a he was a dispecable human being.

You guys should read about Suleiman the 1st and the Ottoman Emperor. They are very interesting,esp

Sulemain's wife Hurrem who rose to be his favorite to his legal wedded wife. She pretty much had a lot of control pver him.

khilji more than a king was a torturer and robber.He had created such an environment of fear that even family members could'nt trust each other anyone could be his spy,and any single peron saying a word against him was reported and murdered to avoid rebellion

so they captured men and turned them into enuches? I always thought they gave job to trans people which is a good thingbut seems castration was done on straight men.There were habshi slaves too right?

only monogamous men I've heard of in mughal period are dara shikoh,eldest son of shahjahan and Khusrau Mirza,eldest son of jahangir

BTW was Akbar's sexual life ignored by Ashutosh too 😕

Akbar's (Immoral) Character and Nature

Akbar possessed a inordinate lust for women, just like his ancestors and predecessors. One of Akbar's motives during his wars of aggression against various rulers was to appropriate their women, daughters and sisters. The Rajput women of Chittor prefered "Jauhar" (immolation) than to be captured and disrespectfully treated as servants and prostitutes in Akbar's harem. On his licentous relations with women, Smith refers to a contemporary Jesuits testimony (p.81) thus, "... Akbar habitually drank hard. The good father had boldly dared to reprove the emperor sharply for his licentous relations with women. Akbar instead of resenting the priests audacity, blushingly excused himself." Both drinking and enganging in debauched sexual activities was inherited by Akbar from his ancestors.

Abul Fazl in Ain-i-Akbari (Blochmann,V.1,p.276), ".. His majesty has established a wine shop near the palace ... The prostitues of the realm collected at the shop could scarcely be counter, so large was their number .. The dancing girls used to be taken home by the courtiers. If any well known courtier wanted to have a virgin they should first have His Majesty's [Akbar's] permission. In the same way, boys prostituted themselves, and drunkeness and ignorance soon lead to bloodshed ... His Majesty [Akbar] himself called some of the prostitutes and asked them who had deprived them of their virginity?" This was the state of affairs during Akbar's rule, where alcoholism, sodomy, prostitution and murderous assaults were permitted by the king himself. The conditions of the civic life during Akbar's life is shocking!

Sodomy was a precious service of Akbar's own family. Babur, Akbar's grandfather, has given a lengthy description of this sodomic infatuation for a male sweetheart. Humayun was no different. Though perhaps Akbar did not engage in sodomy, he "allowed" it to be practiced by his servants, courtiers and sycophats. Abul Fazal in Ain-e-Akbari provides accounts of some such acts which are too disgusting to even mention. Such perverse gratification was prevelant during the Moghal rule, and in Akbar's times.

That Akbar remained monogamous throughout his life is indeed history falsified myth. Again quoting V.Smith (pp.47),".. Akbar, throughout his life, allowed himself ample latitude in the matter of wives and concubines!" and further, " Akbar had introduced a whole host of Hindu the daughters of eminent Hindu Rajah's into his harem." (pp.212). An account of how the Jaipur rulers were coerced into sending their daughters to the Mogul harem is found in Dr. Srivastava's book Akbar - The Mogul (Vol.1). Shelat notes (p.90)," (after the "Jauhar" that followed the killing of Rani Durgawati) the two women left alive, Kamalavati (sister of Rani Durgawati) and the daughter of the Raja of Purangad (daughter-in-law of the deceased queen) were sent to Agra to enter Akbar's harem." It should also be observed that adimittance into Akbar's harem was available mainly to virgins and others' were "disqualified". Inspite of such disgusting and lewd personal affairs, inducting women of abducted or killed Hindu warriors into his harem as slaves and prostitutes, it is bewildering that Akbar is hailed as a righteous and noble emperor.

The personality and nature of Akbar has been nicely summed up by the Editor of Father Monserrate's Commentarius. The editor's introduction states, "In the long line of Indian soverigns, the towering personalities of Ashoka and Akbar (because of his dread) stand high above the rest... Akbar's greed for conquest and glory and his lack of sincerity form a marked contrast to Ashoka's paternal rule, genuine self-control and spiritual ambition. Akbar's wars were those of a true descendent of Timur, and had all the gruesome associations which this fact implies."

"The old notion that Akbar's was a near approximation to Plato's philosopher king has been dissipated by modern resarches. His character with its mixture of ambition and cunning has now been laid bare. He has been rightly compared to a pike in a pond preying upon his weaker neighbours .. Akbar was unable to give up his polygamous habits, for no importance needs to be attached to the bazaar gossip of the time that he once intended to distribute his wives among his grandees."

Whole of India was reduced to a brothel during the Moghal rule and Akbar, one of the Emperors, is being glorified as one of the patrons of the vast brothel. The above instances may suffice to convince the impartial reader that Akbar's whole career was a saga of uninhibited licentiousness backed by the royal brute.
