Mughal Emperor Akbar was a real imperialist and believed in constantly expanding his empire to keep the rebels at bay.

The first conquest of Akbar was that of Malwa in Madhya Pradesh. In 1561 AD, he conquered Chunar, Gwalior, Jaunpur and Ajmer in Rajasthan.

Gondowana was annexed by defeating Rani Durgavati in 1564 AD. By this time, Akbar understood the utility of Rajputs as friends and entered into friendship and matrimonial alliances. It started with king Bharmal (or Bhagmal) of Amber who got his daughter married to Akbar and accepted Mughal supremacy in 1562 AD. His son Bhagwan Das and grandson Man Singh occupied high posts in the Mughal administrative system. Akbar married the princess of Bikaner and gave prince Salim in marriage to Bhagwan Das’s daughter.

Other Rajput states like Ranthambore, Kalinjar and Jaisalmer were also annexed. However, Uday Singh, the son of Rana Sangha of Mewar did not accept the Mughal supremacy but the Chittorgarh fort fell to the Mughals. Uday Singh fled Chittor but his son Rana Pratap kept fighting the Mughals. Rana Pratap however was defeated in the Battle of Haldighat in 1576 AD.

The conquest of Gujarat in 1572 AD was also important for Akbar. It set up maritime trade with West Asian coun¬tries.

In 1576 AD, Akbar defeated Daud Khan Karrani and annexed Bengal. The twelve Bhuiyas, i.e., Hindu and Muslim Zamindars had put up a strong resistance but was gradually crushed by the Mughals. Man Singh, the subedar of Bihar conquered Orissa.

The distant north-western territories like Kabul, Kashmir, Sindh, Baluchistan and Kandahar fell to the Mughal Empire of Akbar. In the Deccan too Ahmadnagar and Asirgarh fort of Khandesh fell to the Mughals. Thus a state extending over a small area became a pan-Indian empire.
