MOGHULS - 3

the Greatest King of India was crowned on a brick seat.

Its not important where you start from but all mattered was where you end.

He was under a man india and indian guru - shishya parampara owe. Akbar was being tought by Bairam Khan. The relationship between him and bairam was different from Kautaliya and Chandra Gupta .... though both wanted to see their disciple as kings their means were contrast.

Bairam never let Akbar get literate (though I rate being educated is more important than just litrate). Some say he wanted the empire himself while others say he was prey of misunderstanding.

Akbar fought Hemu for his kingdom but i don't think he could have done without bairam.... who faded in history.

But the Disciple was planted deep in the roots on the highest position. Akbar went on to be one of the most revered king india has seen. He did every thing probably babur would ahve done if he had time.

He did what should be done and what shouldn't be done. Yes i'm talking about the gift he got from the sufi saint " Salim Chisti" and in turn he asked akbar to shift to sikri a village near Agra. But his gift was a curse, the same son who was named after the saint revolted for a women he forcibly acquired.

Akbar left him unpunished.... and added a weak brick in this magnificient structure.....
