About Akbar
Al-Fath Jalal-Din Abu’l-Fath The third Mughal emperor, Muhammad Akbar, also known as Akbar the Great (October 1542–October 27), had an estimated wealth of $25 trillion. The Mughal empire, which included practically all of northern India and Afghanistan in the 16th century, was ruled by Akbar the Great. On October 15, 1542, Akbar was born in what is now Pakistan. He ascended to the kingdom when he was just 13 years old, replacing his father.
Akbar was an adept administrator as well as a cunning military strategist. The Mughal empire grew during his rule to nearly completely encircle northern India and Afghanistan.
Akbar was extremely tolerant of his Hindu subjects despite having been bred as a Muslim. He had a keen brain and supported the humanities and sciences.
The Mughal Empire’s growth
In the course of his nearly 50 years in rule, Akbar was able to bring a number of dispersed and strife-torn fiefdoms together. He established a productive central government. He valued brilliance and loyalty rather than using punishment to win allegiance. He built a somewhat steady empire as a result.
In later years, Akbar
A vast and elaborate mausoleum was being built during Akbar’s lifetime. He was interred there when he passed away on October 27, 1605, at the age of 63.
