in history or in nature no human being can be completely evil, in fact akbar is known for being the most liberal and tolerant towards other religions, and its true that in olden times it was more of a dictatorship, therefore it wasn't allowed by anyone to write against them, no one can tell what exactly happened 400 years ago, only people who have experienced it themselves will be able to tell what exactly happened..this is a biased article! the rajputs and sikhs of that time went against them because they were outsiders who like britishers invaded india..but it does not mean that all the mughal leaders were butchers, there might have been some like akbar who not only wanted to conquer but also make it a better place to live..i like the way ekta is showing all shades of akbar good and bad...loving the show, therefore will stick to my views and not the views of the writer!

I have not read the aricle but in his young age Akbar was no paragon of virtue...He was quite fanatic and a womaniser...

Akbar was neither an evil character nor a goody two-shoes like Hrithik Roshan's portrayal. Sorry for all the Jodha Akbar movie fans, but that movie painted Akbar like some God. 🥱 He was no Ram or Krishna, but at the same time, he was no Ravan or Kans either.

Again this serial is not too far from history...they might be changing something here and there but essence is same to an extent...

i agree, he is being shown like a young wild horse in the show who is after power and women, and that seems to be close to the history, maybe with age and experience and marrying hindu women he became more tolerant towards other religions and also was ambitious to expand his empire and took other rulers from different religion in confidence so that he can utilize them when needed, just like he did with raja bharmal..anyway still love the show!

In fact, Akbar was a lot better than his descendants. Jahangir, Shah Jahan, and most of all Aurangzeb were known for incredible cruelty towards Hindus. As each generation passed, the cruelty got worse. Akbar was the best King of his dynasty, and after him Jahangir was ok but a little more crooked in mentality. Shah Jahan was worse than Jahangir despite people painting him as a great romantic because of the Taj Mahal, and Aurangzeb was one of the worst and cruelest Kings of India, not just of the Mughal dynasty.

Akbar was also known for some of his cruel methods, but he was also one of the fairest and best Kings of the Mughal dynasty. He did have a great tolerance for Hindus, and of course, everyone knows about the great respect he had for Birbal, his Hindu minister. He was nowhere near a perfect King, but he was no sadist either.

i completely agree with u, i think he was the best among the muslim rulers, and auranzeb was the worst and most hated of them all!

Jahangir and Shahjahan were the worst kings of this dynasty...

Again it is wrong to say that Akbar was the first or only king to be good to hindus or show religious tolerance...
