Farman of Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum
This post is about an edict(Imperial Order/Farman) issued by Mariam-Uz-Zamani(MUZ) Begum. It happens to be one of the most awaited posts, for which many of you have sent enough messages.. Sorry for the delay, but this post is worth it's wait.
Sharing the details of a hukm or edict issued by this remarkable lady with you. It was fascinating to see how involved she was in such a routine court matter as the embezzlement of the assets of a court employee by a Zamindar. This is an example of how she was involved in resolving the civil disputes among the masses through her edicts.
Before we start, let me tell the brief contents of this post. The Imperial Order/Farman of MUZ is discussed at the end of the post, and before that, various terminologies related to Imperial Mughal Farmans have been discussed. This post contains the Original Persian Scan of that Farman, along with some scans from the Indian Historical Records Commission Meeting, 1925 at Lahore ; which describes the title of "Wali Nimat" conferred on Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum.
Wali Nimat means "Gift of God/Blessing of Saint".

As most of you know, Akbar once rode nonstop on a horse to stop a princess from being forced to commit the Sati practice...
Was discussing this incident on the forum, few days back.
Thought of writing about that event also.
Regarding the same incident , made a post. Have given the details of this lady also, whom Akbar saved and gave a new lease of life.

Wish we can see this and other such pro-active steps undertaken by Akbar for the welfare of his people in our show. It would have been a rare Emperor who would have thought of his people so much..
