Question

how was akbar different from other emperors of his time?from the story "The song of songs"

Answer 1

Akbar was Immoral in Character and Nature. Akbar possessed a inordinate lust for women, just like his ancestors and predecessors. One of Akbar’s motives during his wars of aggression was to capture their women, daughters and sisters. The Rajput women of Chittor prefered “Jauhar” (immolation) than to be captured and disrespectfully treated as servants and prostitutes in Akbar’s harem. Abul Fazal in Ain-e-Akbari provides accounts of some such acts which are too disgusting to even mention. He had burnt down thousands of villages killing innocent people. Not just that,Akbar had ordered to cut down thousands of trees .The locals in order to save the trees use to tie themselves around trees, which included children and women. This infuriated Akbar and he ordered immediately to cut down the trees along with the people.
