yep.
Akbar did take strong steps against this...

Actually my friend came across a doc, where it was mentioned in a farman by -- ''Wali Ni'maat Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum Sahiba, she issued for giving some madad-i-mash..''

so asked this... 😊 ... This is an interesting hit for me...
Thnx for clearing this..

Facts above are interesting. Tfs.
Any idea about orders issued by Jodha during Akbar reign?

Very confused now.

Where did you read about Akbar and Ruqu's daughter??

yes even i read some where same that in jahangir nama he mentioned his siblings born from concubines but once i was discussing it with a friend so got these info thats why added (Arrguably) 😳
& now waiting for abhay to comeup with the resarch 😳

@abhay you asked about Madad-i-Mash the exact word in Persian is Madad-i-Muash or you can write it as Madad-e-Muash too
as i said writting other languages words with english alphabetics can do garbar sometime 😳

the Persian word Madad-i-Muash / Madad-e-Muash means
Allowance, Subsistence

in detail you can say something like Financial assistance ,support, or provision of food shelter, maintenance, pension or you can say an assignment of revenue for the support of learned or pious

hope it helped 😊

this is really helpful. Thnks a lot.
Yes, translation does leads to 'garbar/garbad.' 😊

No,even I've read that Akbar had medium height. His ancestry hails from Mongolia anyway,who have mediocre height.

Hi Buddy, 😊

Akbar was of medium height only, dear. Yes, i NEVER believe in wikipedia. You are correct wiki is not to be trusted.

Infact, forum-wasis must be bored by my repeated lectures, of not to trust wikipedia.

But as per my knowledge, he was medium size only. 😊 ..plz check dear... !...and yes too STRONG...!..

He is compared to Alexander of Macedonia in chronicles... 😊

According to Jahangir(Akbar son), Akbar was "of the hue of wheat; his eyes and eyebrows were black and his complexion rather dark than fair".
Antoni de Montserrat, the Catalan Jesuit who visited his court described him as follows:

"One could easily recognize even at first glance that he is King. He has broad shoulders, somewhat bandy legs well-suited for horsemanship, and a light brown complexion. He carries his head bent towards the right shoulder. His forehead is broad and open, his eyes so bright and flashing that they seem like a sea shimmering in the sunlight. His eyelashes are very long. His eyebrows are not strongly marked. His nose is straight and small though not insignificant. His nostrils are widely open as though in derision. Between the left nostril and the upper lip there is a mole. He shaves his beard but wears a moustache. He limps in his left leg though he has never received an injury there.

Akbar was not tall but powerfully built and very agile.

Abul Fazal, and even the hostile critic Badayuni, described him as having a commanding personality. He was notable for his command in battle, and, "like Alexander of Macedon, was always ready to risk his life, regardless of political consequences"
