Ads,

Thanks so much for posting this 🤗🤗🤗

Ok, I have few Qs😆,

1. Why is Akbar called as Zelaldinus - Akbar's name in Pourtugese - for Jalaluddin

2. Wats taqlid? - It means customs as in prevalent customs / traditions / norms

3. This statement went over my head,

Hence Abu'l Fazl's lament in the A'in that exchanges between scientists of various religious persuasions were not taking place because of 'the blowing of the chill blast of inflexible custom (taqlid) and the low flicker of the lamp of wisdom.'

Wat does it mean? - The opposition of the bigoted norms of the times to the liberal thinking of Akbar

4. Whats Alcha? - a kind of a striped silk cloth - it is silk mixed with cotton.

Wid wat u have posted so far, Akbar had interest in

1. Metallurgy

2. Architecture

3. Carpentry

4. Acoustics

5. Science

6. Civil Engineering (Foldable Tents etc, can this be mentioned under Civil engg?)

7. Textiles

And I am 😲 reading all this. I mean, WTH!! No wonder he is called great👏.

Pardon my language but Who the hell ll have so much interest in so many things and its not interest in just watching, but he has involved himself in all these activities and have been successful mostly!

Wow!! Just Wowww!!👏

P.S: Its really a 🤔 I dnt hv words to say how astonished I am now. But even after all these activities and interests, he still had time to rage wars, conquer kingdoms, marry so many women, love Jodha, make babies and fight internal family battles!😲

We should really learn time management from this great guy!😃

Is he human or someone else altogether. No wonder u many times said that Akbar had Allah ka and Ms Universe ka saath😳

Allah miah, finally read it.. 😊 ...Excellent Adi...Akbar-such a great personality..want to knw more and more..btw when I read this, image of Akbar came in my mind is our "onscreen Akbar".. 😳 ..

Adia my dear 🤗 thank u so much for the reply to my questions 👍🏼 ... no issues if u cannot reply individually i understand their is kind of limit to post replies in the forum ... i was kind of curious to knw more abt them ... but take ur time as i knw u r doing lot of research on this ... n once again thank u for investing ur precious time & giving us the knowledge of Akbar's life & works 👏

The more I read about this great personality the more I get inspired!

It seems Akbar loved working with his hands; he had an interest in building and creating new things. After all he did build and fortify that big empire of his!

thanks adi my dear! loving every bit of it..ekta cannot even show 20% of the real akbar due to lack of resources and capabilities..the real akbar was beyond reach..something else!..the complete portrayal will be next to impossible!

Adiana,
Thanks for the update, your energy-consuming effort is absolutely appreciated. But we are the greedy kind 😉, so once again keep it coming, and of course at your own pace. 😊
I have seen that khas, i like the fragrance of it. A very natural way to keep cool.
