Abul Fath Jalal-Ud-Din Muhammad Akbar, The Third Mughal Emperor, Is Widely Regarded As One Of The Greatest Rulers In Indias History. During His Reign, The Mughal Empire Was One Of The Wealthiest In The World, And Covered Much Of The Indian Subcontinent. Although There Are Dozens Of Books On The Empire, There Are Surprisingly Few Full-Length Accounts Of Its Most Remarkable Emperor, With The Last Major Study Having Been Published Over Two Decades Ago. In Akbar: The Great Mughal, This Outstanding Sovereign Finally Gets His Due, And The Reader Gets The Full Measure Of His Extraordinary Life. Akbar Was Born On 15 October 1542 And After A Harrowing Childhood And A Tumultuous Struggle For Succession Following The Death Of His Father, Humayun, Became Emperor At The Age Of Thirteen. He Then Ruled For Nearly Fifty Years, And Over The Course Of His Reign Established An Empire That Would Be Hailed As Singular, Both In Its Own Time And For Posterity. In This Book, Acclaimed Writer Ira Mukhoty Covers Akbars Life And Times In Lavish, Illuminating Detail. The Product Of Years Of Reading, Research, And Study, The Biography Looks In Great Detail At Every Aspect Of This Exceptional Rulerhis Ambitions, Mistakes, Bravery, Military Genius, Empathy For His Subjects, And Path-Breaking Efforts To Reform The Governance Of His Empire. It Delves Deep Into His Open-Mindedness, His Reverence Towards All Religions, His Efforts Towards The Emancipation Of Women, His Abolishing Of Slavery And The Religious Taxjiziyaand Other Acts That Showed His Statesmanship And Humanity. The Biography Uses Recent Ground-Breaking Work By Art Historians To Examine Akbars Unending Curiosity About The World Around Him, And The Role The Ateliers Played In The Succession Struggle Between Him And His Heir, Prince Salim. Beautifully Written, Hugely Well-Informed, And Thoroughly Grounded In Scholarship, This Monumental Biography Captures The Grandeur, Vitality, And Genius Of The Great Mughal.
