Akbar and hypocrite liberals.

History tells he was one the most barbaric mughal rulers how?
Lets have a look on this thread.

He had forcibly married Salima Sultana Begum, who was wife of his regent Bairam Khan. Bairam Khan was a fatherlike figure for him.

In 1556, After defeating Hemachandra Vikramaditya in 2nd battle of Panipat, He earned the title 'Ghazi' after beheading Hemachandra Vikramaditya.

The Mughals had built a tower of heads of slain soldiers in Second Battle of Panipat.

1568,Akbar captured the fort of Chittorgarh.Rajputs fought under leadership of brave Jaimal and Patta Sisodia. To save themselves from being captured by Mughals and made slaves, 1000s of rajput women commited Jauhar on 23rd February 1568. On the next day Rajputs commited Saka.

After winning the battle , Akbar had ordered for a massacre of 40,000 peasants which took shelter in the Chittor fort.

Several Temples too were destroyed and hundreds of common women of the city who couldn't commit jauhar were captured.

In 1564, Akbar sent Asaf khan to conquer Gondwana. Maharani Durgavati fought till the end. She defeated the Mughals in two battles However in the third battle an arrow struck her neck and she was mortally wounded. Instead of being defeated she stabbed herself with her own sword

After Durgavati's Martydom,gonds and rajputs prepared for the final battle.Kamlavati,Rani Durgavati's sister and 5000 women immolated themselves in a huge pyre to not being made slaves Unfortunately Kamlavati was sheilded by a huge piece of timber and not completely burnt.

The half burnt Kamlavati was sent to Akbar's harem. Abul Fazl writes this in Akbarnama.

In short Akbar was not great ruler but he was made by our so called libbis history writers.
