The hidden treasure of Raja Man Singh

I came across this article wanted to share

History tells us that Akbar ordered Man Singh to subjugate the Afghans. Jaipur folklore has it that Man Singh plundered Afghanistan and returned with a lot of treasure. It also alleges that he did not share the treasure with Akbar but hoarded it in Jaigarh fort.

I wonder did Akbar have any loyal relative or friend?

Even Man Singh never gave the treasure to emperor and kept it himself. I am sure Akbar knew about it but kept quiet.

I feel Atagah was most loyal person he had apart from Todarmal, Abul Fazl and Birbal. What do you think?

intresting fact about the info u shared: i live in india(ncr)...and few months back here, there was a complete media coverage on this topic...since a sadhu maharaj in his dream saw loads of gold under sum place (supposedly the one u r refering) and he is still diging there...:P..n loadz of theories were floaded and one such theory was this...bt i do think chances are its false...man singh was loyal ...to him i guess...😊😊

That was in UP this fort is in rajasthan near jaipur

That was another king not man singh

That king hid treasure to fight against britishers

Man Singh family did not fight britishers they were friends with britishers

Akbar was powerful so they became his friends and relative then Britishers came and became more powerful they became friends

Only those kings who accepted british rule were not killed/looted/empire taken away.

Those who opposed them be it mughals/tipu sultan, rani laxmi bai etc and their family's were all killed and their kingdom and property taken away

disclaimer :don't confuse jodha with muz...!!

yes, bcoz jodha bai was man singh's sister only...muz married her niece to her son...she was the most beloved wife of jahengir before nur jahan...!!!...and bcoz of her only man singh and jehangir had a fight...(jodha tried to commit suicide)...
akbar never maried jodha...jodha(princess of jodhpur) had som connections to jodhpur...maybe her mother hailed from jodhpur...
