chronicle of medieval Indian History !!

Intro

Advika narrator 2 :Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar the son of Humayun,

Hamida Banu Begum  was the third Mughal emperor, who reigned from
1556 to 1605. Akbar succeeded his father, Humayun, under a regent,
Bairam Khan, who helped the young emperor expand and consolidate
Mughal domains in India.

Rushaan : Akbar was born in a chaotic world and having to rule a empire
just at the age of 13, having to marry Hindal's daughter, Ruqaiya Sultan
Begum when they were both just 14 years old, being guided by his
mentor Bairam Khan for the succession of the throne

Once Akbar went deep into the woods, with his companions, hunting
wild animals but with no luck. Tired and thirsty, they decided to visit the
nearby village and met a young local boy named Mahesh Das who
readily agreed to help them. 

Kanishk:

Tired and thirsty, they decided to visit the nearby village and met a
young local boy named Mahesh Das who readily agreed to help them.

The boy had no idea who Akbar was, so he cross-questioned him when
Akbar asked the little boy what his name was. 

   
   Sudeeksha: Akbar doesn’t reply, he remains silent. By seeing the attire ,
the little boy realized that he is speaking with a rich merchant but the bit
still doesn't realize that he is emperor Akbar.  

The boy had no idea who Akbar was, so he cross-questioned him when
Akbar asked the little boy what his name was. Seeing his confidence
and cleverness, Akbar gave him a ring and asked him to meet him when
he grows up. Later the boy realized that it was a royal ring and he had
just met Emperor Akbar.

   
 

Aarush:

After few years, when Mahesh Das grew up, he decided to visit Akbar’s
court. He was standing in a corner in the court when Akbar asked his
noblemen which flower they think is the most beautiful flower on earth. 

Some answered rose, some lotus, some jasmine but Mahesh Das
suggested that in his opinion it is the cotton flower. The entire court
started laughing as cotton flowers are odorless.

Rushaan:

Mahesh Das then explained how useful cotton flowers are as the cotton
picked from this flower is used to make clothes for people in summers as
well as in winters.

Kanishk:

 Akbar was impressed with the answer. Mahesh Das then introduced
himself and showed the Emperor the ring he had given years ago. Akbar
happily appointed him as one of the noblemen in his court and Mahesh
Das came to be known as Birbal
Sudeeksha: Now I would like to recite a poem I have written

The Rulers

The people’s heart wisely won by akbar,

Forfeited by Jahangir.

The extravagance of Jahan

And the intolerance of Aurangzeb.

India had seen

The most holy wars,

Betrayl of blood for the crown,

The best monuments

And the worst British Raj
