|
Son of Raja Bharmal Kachchwaha of Amber, Bhagwant Das or Bhagwan Das was a great general of his times and as an trusted ally of Emperor Akbar. He fought many battles in Gujarat, Punjab and northern frontier. At the behest of Akbar he crossed the river Attock on July 12, 1581 AD; fought and won territory inside Afghanistan. He was also appointed as Governor of Punjab. He maintained his freedom of speech while giving advice to the Emperor on important political matters and could dare refuse to embrace Akbar's new found faith "Din-i-illahi". Abul Fazl rightly remarked about Raja Bhagwan Das that he was endowed with uprightness, weight of counsel and courage.
