In the given context, it is crucial to understand that Mughal Emperor Akbar, as portrayed by Leftist Historians and some Rajputs, is not an accurate representation of historical events. We can comprehend the reasons behind the defense of the Mughals by Leftist Historians. However, we must also explore why Akbar continues to be celebrated among certain Unionist Rajputs on social media, and delve into how they have built their admiration for him.

In order to provide insight into the religious tyranny of Akbar, we should consider the example of his Siege of Chittorgarh (1567-68). Following his victory over the Rajputs of Chittorgarh, Akbar ordered the massacre of 30,000 Hindus. His jubilation after this triumph prompted him to compose a "Fathnama," in which he attributed the victory to Allah and did not hesitate to mention that he had defeated the "Infidels," or Hindus, as a result of Allah's command.

As is customary, only Mewad remembers this devastation. We all know that Maharana Pratap Sisodia was the sole Zamindar of Mewad who opposed the oppressive rule of Mughal Emperor Akbar. He was disgusted by observing other Rajputs, such as the Kachhwahas and Rathores, engaging in one-sided matrimonial alliances with the Mughal Emperor.

The reason I am emphasizing this is because, as you can observe from the following Snippet, Akbar was referred to as "Shriji," "Sah," "Nath," "Aspati," and "Chhatrapati." Not only that, but Rajputs took pride in being slaves to Akbar, taking pleasure in serving the Mughals and offering their service to him.

We are witnessing the disrespect and degradation of the greatest Hindu savior who has ever lived, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja, at the hands of some Rajputs on Social Media. We are now aware of the reason behind this: their loyalty lies with Chhatrapati Akbar instead of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja.

Akbar is not only considered to be Chhatrapati by the Rajputs, but he is also regarded as an incarnation of Bhagwan Ram, Bhagwan Krishna, and Arjuna. The shameless Rajputs, in their bards, continually praised Akbar for his so-called valor.

5/

Amrit Rai goes beyond bounds by committing blasphemy, stating that 'The goddess Lakshmi shares her time between Vishnu's embrace and nestling at Akbar's breast'. We can only imagine the damage caused to our dharma by these bards and poems of our Hindu religion. Due to these fake bards and poems, the Rajputs assert themselves as being from the lineage of Shri Ram and Shri Krishna. We know that the real descendants would never appreciate something as blasphemous as this.

We, as devoted Hindus, typically have images of our Hindu gods displayed in the main gates of our homes or establishments. However, it is worth noting that some fraudulent Kshatriya individuals, who claim to be Rajputs, have historically had portraits of Akbar displayed in their main gates. For example, in the town of Sandla, certain Rajputs used to worship Akbar by placing his portrait in the main gate, as they believed him to be an incarnation of both Bhagwan Shri Ram and Shri Krishna.

Here is a prime example of a poem written during Akbar's time, showcasing the devotion of the author. Upon reading it, you may feel a sense of disgust with every line, as the sentiments expressed may not align with your own beliefs and values.

8/

In the event that the poems and bards do not provide sufficient evidence to convince you, you may refer to the activities of Rajput nobles in the court of Akbar. Man Singh of Amber recounts how he "successfully suppressed Hindus in order to establish Mughal suzerainty over them," demonstrating an unprecedented level of devotion and loyalty towards the Mughals.

9/

Rajputs used to take pride in serving Akbar and, in some cases, even laid down their lives for the Mughals or Akbar himself, which was considered the highest expression of loyalty that Rajputs could show towards the Mughals.

10/

Merely dying for the Mughals or Akbar is not enough to demonstrate loyalty; additionally, bringing another subjugated Rajput into the service of Akbar contributes to their sense of pride in the eyes of the emperor.

11/

I hate to bring up this topic, but the term 'Mughalput' is rightfully attributed to Rajputs by sensible individuals. Online Rajputs receive support from Mughal enthusiastic handles, and we are well aware of the reasons for this. Merely having one-sided matrimonial ties is not sufficient for certain Rajputs, as they exert additional efforts to expand Mughal dominion through their blood and sweat. We Hindus suffered greatly under the rule of the Mughals, and it is certain that Rajputs caused unimaginable damage to the Hindu community in the past by faithfully serving the Mughals.

12/

I acknowledge that every race served under the Mughals, and this is historically accurate. However, there is a key distinction to be aware of: the Rajputs, especially those names like Man Singh Kachhwaha, Mirza Raja Jai Singh Kachhwaha, Sawai Jai Singh Kachhwaha, Jaswant Singh Rathore, and others, stand out as examples of individuals who surpassed every ethnicity in terms of their service to the Mughals. You will not find names of Maratha leaders mentioned in the same context as Man Singh Kachhwaha, which highlights this significant difference.

We have observed that even today, the royal family of Jaipur does not hesitate to mention Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb during the Hindu festival of Dusshera. Upon closer examination of the emblem, the material of the cloth appears not to be old enough to predate Aurangzeb, indicating that it is a later creation, likely created by the Jaipur Royals themselves. As we have seen historically, some Rajputs took pride in suppressing other Hindus for the sake of the Mughal Empire, and it seems that the Jaipur Royals are still carrying on this false sense of pride.
