THE RULE OF
AKBAR in the sixteenth century was a landmark in the history of India. Among the Mughal
emperors who ruled India he was the most outstanding for his many qualities of head
and heart, the chief among them being his full identification with the needs and
aspirations of the Indian people.
Babar was the founder of the Mughal empire in India. He was able to establish it after
defeating the Lodis in the battle of Panipet in 1526. Babar's son Humayun was driven
from his kingdom by Sher Shah when he fled to Sind to organise a come-back with the
aid of friends. During his wanderings in Sind,
Humayun married Hamida Begum of whom was born Akbar in 1542 while Humayun was retreating
from the enemy. |
