Mandy, your post is heartwarming. Akbar, indeed was a rare human being.

Donjas, my boy where were you..missed you blunt comments😉..thank you for agreeing with me dear!

Even today, many extremists regard Akbar as either a brutal Muslim ruler or as an unbeliever, depending on which religion they belong to. They view Akbar through their own narrow prism, not realizing that for Akbar, religion itself was a means to an end. He said it in that famous letter to King Philip of Spain "We profit from the discourses of holy men of all faiths."

very well said and i agree word for word!..poor fellow did so much but except a few admirers he gained criticism instead,,na idher ke na udhar ke😕!

The tendency to view Akbar from the narrow prism of religion is very difficult to avoid, even for secular individuals. At India's independence, when the constituent assembly was proposing various emblems and symbols for the new India, a lot of motifs related to Ashoka were selected, but not one of Akbar. Lord Mountbatten criticized them for that.

..and i very well no why, but cannot discuss openly!

On 5th October, the RSS is organizing a historical seminar on "Hemu, the forgotten Hindu Hero". The Union minister of culture is going to take part in addition to many other luminaries. Do not be surprised, if at this occasion a lot of vitriol is thrown at Akbar.

true that but what can a common man do, other than keeping anger in heart and dealing with it helplessly!

Look Donjas no one can denegrate Jalal or anybody as no one can take away any one's achievements...Agar Akbar par keechad uchalenge toh khud par bhi girega...and who is RSS? Why do you think all hindus are influenced by RSS? ...I am a hindu and frankly I dont even bother abt them...but I think we as a country are very intolerant...We just hate to hear critisism...I love Jallu and I am equally in love with MP...I..I respect Hemu's failed effort ...I respect marathas and I also respect Tipu and Haider Ali...

Lovely lines, Mandy my dear, mirroring your despair at what Akbar the Great is being reduced to onscreen. I doubt if anything dramatic by way of improvements in the script can be expected, but do not fret. Akbar's reputation is proof against such depredations, and he will remain what he was all these centuries, a greatly admired and respected historical icon.
