Kiran Devi Rathore: The Trailblazing Queen Who Took on Akbar and Transformed History
All of us grew up hearing tales about Akbar the Great, the greatest Mughal emperor. From abolishing the Jizya levy, which imposed taxes on non-Muslims, to fostering harmony within the community, honoring religious beliefs, and governing fairly, he did a lot for his people. Although all of these are true, Akbar had another side too. We know only about his gallantry and courage from what we have read.
