Mughal Emperor Akbar
Topic:
What were the contribution of the Mughal emperor Akbar to the creation of an Indian national Identity? What were the greatest obstacles to his
achievement in this?
The greatest of the Mughal's emperors, Akbar, attempted the creation of a
national identity for India by his numerous reforms, literal and cultural
development, and policies of integration and organization. His reforms
included a liberal policy toward the nonā€“Muslims, religious innovations, the
land revenue system and the famous Mansabdari system. His policy of
religious toleration became the most significant aspect during his reign.
Akbar established a new religion, the Dinā€“iā€“Ilahi. But Akbar's attempt to
create a national identity and a social...show more content...
Todar Mal with the assistance of
Muzaffar Khan Turbati implemented the policies of
(1)the introduction of the branding regulation, (2) the abolition of the feudal system by resuming fiefs, placing them under the administration of crown
officials, and paying both officers and men from the treasury, and (3) the preparation of the graded list of officials classed as amirs and mansabdars,
all, whether civil or military, holding military rank.
Keeping in mind that Akbar had abolished not only the poll tax and
pilgrims' tax, but also over fifty minor duties, his purpose was to levy a
fair rent on the land, which would support the administration without
unduly burdening the cultivators. Akbar allowed no oppression and many
campaigns were undertaken mainly for the purpose of punishing
governors who had been guilty of selfā€“seeking and corruption. Akbar's
innovation was that the tax be assessed equally on every member of the
empire. Considering that every other state in the sixteen century rarely
taxed the nobility, this innovation was indeed a radical one.
Akbar's fame rests on his many attempts to blend and unite Muslim and
Hindu civilizations. He dreamed of a "new united civilization that would
be neither Islamic nor Hindu but Neoā€“Indian." He began to look into his
own faith and to "observe the external forms of Muslim Orthodoxy." He

Akbar Essay
Akbar was one of the world's greatest conquerors and an even greater ruler in Indian history. He was born on October 15, 1942 and died October 27,
1605. In 1556, at the young age of 13, Akbar was forced to become ruler when his father, Humayun, died. He learned from mentors and began seizing
land. By the time of his death, his empire was almost all of northern India. He was the greatest of the Moguls, the Muslim dynasty that dominated India
between the early 15th and 18th centuries. Akbar had many contributions and had a major influence during his time. Akbar controlled a lot of territory
rather quickly and needed to create a system in order to govern it. He developed a bureaucracy, which was among the most efficient in the world. He

The Rajput kingdoms had never fully accepted Islamic rule, but that started to change when he eliminated some taxes. Akbar also included a large
number of Hindus in the official bureaucracy. By his death, almost oneā€“third of the imperial bureaucracy was Hindu. He became on good terms with
the several kingdoms and guaranteed to keep it like that by marrying the daughters of the kings. By the end of this process he had over five thousand
wives. Most of the women he married were just for political reasons. His favorite wife, however, was a Hindu, and she gave birth to his successor,
Jahangir. His most successful accomplishment, however, was allowing Hindu territories to be almost fully independent. In all other Muslim kingdoms,
nonā€“Muslims came under the same law, the Shari'a, as all Muslims. Akbar, however, allowed the Hindus to remain under their own law, called the
Dharmashastra, and to maintain their own courts. This style of government, in which territories were under the control of the Emperor but still largely
independent, became the model that the British would copy as they slowly begin to build their own government in the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. At the time of Akbar's rule, theMughal Empire included both Hindus and Muslims. Profound differences separate the Islamic and Hindu
faith. When Akbar began to rule, a majority of the subjects in the Mughal Empire were Hindus. However, the rulers of the

Characteristics Of Akbar
Military Administration: Akbar paid much attention towards the organization, equipment and discipline of the army. For efficient military
administration he introduced a new system known as the Mansabdari System. The Mansabdars had to maintain soldiers according to his grade or
rank. There were thirty three grades of these Mansabdars who maintained soldiers ranging from 10 to 10,000. They were paid salaries in cash and
the system of assignments of lands was discouraged. They were directly under the charge of the emperor and were promoted, degrade or dismissed at
his will. He also revived the practice of taking the descriptive rolls of the soldiers and branding the horses.
A large number of troops were, no doubt, supplied by these Mansabdars...show more content...
According to him, "Upon the conduct of a monarch depends the efficiency of any course of action. His gratitude to God should be shown in just
government and due recognition of merit."
Concentration of all power in the King:
Akbar was the centre of all powersā€“civil, judicial, military and religious. He was the Supreme Commander of the army. He established a centralized
administration.
All appointments, promotions or dismissals depended on his decision and orders. Usually he ruled according to Shariat (Islamic Law).
Akbar's day started with his appearance at the Jharokha (balcony) of the palace. A large number of people assembled below the balcony, presented
their petitions to the emperor, besides having a fortunate glimpse of their emperor.
The petitions were promptly attended to on the spot or later in the open hall of public audience (Diwanā€“iā€“am). Special consultation with the ministers
and nobles were held at the hall of Special Audience (Di

Why Is Akbar Powerful
Two rulers that exercise sovereignty and demonstrates the ability to rule a nation are Akbar the great and Louis XIV both of these rulers show their
ability to rule and maintain power as a sovereigns. Sovereignty is the relationship of a ruler and rules that did not require the rules to sacrifice
political power (Forging the modern world 122). Akbar the great was the ruler of Moghul Empire. Akbar is known to be one of the greatest leaders of
all time for Moghul emperors and that speaks a lot. Akbar ended tax on nonā€“Muslims, modernized army, land reform and religious harmony through
tolerance; Akbar helped unite the diverse people of India ( Quizlet). His goal was to create a strong central government another goal was to encourage

Each ruler had his own his steps and or technique's to maintain his power. Akbar used his skills with people and creating religion, and worship to his
power he also used his form of trade to help him and obviously it worked because he is one of the best Moghul leaders. As for Louis XIV to maintain
his power he used his connection with the government like the states, the connections he had outside of this nations and one of the main ones I would
say are his troops he used them to his advantage. Both Akbar and Louis made sure to look out for the wellbeing of their nation with getting feedback
