Question

how was Akbar's relation with the Rajputs​

Answer 1

Answer:

The ruler of Amber, Raja Bharmal was the first one to establish friendly relation with Akbar in 1562. The younger daughter of Bharmal, Harkha Bai, was married to Akbar. Akbar gave complete religious free­dom to his Hindu wives and gave an honored place to their parents and relations in the nobility.

Bharmal was made a high grandee. His son, Bhagwan Das, rose to rank of 5000 and his grandson, Man Singh to rank of 7000. Akbar emphasized his special relation­ship with the Kachhawaha ruler in other ways as well.

The infant prince Danyal was sent to Amber to be I brought up by Bharmal’s wives. But Akbar did not? Insist upon matrimonial relations as a precondition. No matrimonial relations were entered in to with HadasT of Ranthombhor yet they remained high in Akbar’s I favour. Similarly no matrimonial relations were entered1} in to with rulers of Sirohi and Banswara who submit- : ted to Akbar later on.

Following the conquest of Chittor most of the leading Rajput rulers had accepted Akbar’s suzerainty) and paid personal homage to him. The rulers of Jaisalmer and Bikaner had also entered in to matrimo- ‘i nial relations with Akbar. The only state which had stubbornly refused to accept Mughal suzerainty was.

Mewar although Chittor and the plain area around it a had come under Mughal domination, Udaipur and the hilly area which formed the larger part of Mewar had remained under the control of the Rana. Akbar even > adopted a hardliner approach to deal with Mewar.

He re-imposed Jaziya and declared war against Rana as Jehad. But his reliance on religion to tackle Mewar menace failed to yield decisive result. Then after the battle of Haldighati in 1576, Mughals could not estab­lish their complete authority over Mewar. This clearly indicates that had Akbar not adopted a broad based, tolerant, friendly approach with Rajputs, it would not have been possible for him to control Rajasthan.

By 1585-86 Akbar’s Rajput policy had developed; completely. His relation with Rajputs was stable and balanced by now. Rajputs were not only friends but partners in the Mughal Empire. Ain-iAkbari lists names of 24 Rajput mansabdars. Raja Todarmal was made the head of revenue department.

Akbar’s Rajput policy proved extremely success- ; ful for Mughal Empire and is considered as the best examples of his diplomatic skills. He formed strong and stable empire with the help of Rajputs, a martial clan among Hindus and he could get rid of the influ­ence of his own conspirator nobles and kinsmen.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Politically, despite the military reverses and the mistakes of Aurangzeb, the Mughal dynasty still re­tained a powerful hold on the mind and imagination of the people. As far as Rajputs were concerned the breach with Marwar was not due to an attempt on Aurangzeb’s part to undermine the Hindu’s by de­priving them of a recognized head, but to a miscalcu­lation on his part; he wanted to divided the Marwar state between the two principal claimants, and in the process alienated both, as also the ruler of Mewar who considered Mughal interference in such matters to be a dangerous precedent.

After the death of Jaswant Singh Rathore, the Raja of Marwar in 1678, and Aurangzeb ordered that the whole of Marwar be re­sumed as the crown land. Two queens of Jaswant Singh gave birth to two sons. The elder was Ajit Singh and Rathores demanded that he be recognized as Raja. Aurangzeb offered to grant him the title when he assumed adulthood on condition that he was raised as a Muslim.
