Answer:

The Akbar vs Rana Pratap debate is driven by myth-making rather than facts, say scholars.

In the latter half of the 16th century, when Elizabethan England was persecuting Catholics and the Spanish Inquisition had become an instrument of terror, one Indian ruler had established the first nursery of Indian secularism at Fatehpur Sikri. He held socio-religious and spiritual discussions with men of different faiths at the ibadatkhana. That was Mughal emperor Akbar, a man far ahead of his time.

Explanation:

But the emperor’s legacy is now under siege. Last week in Delhi, members of a Hindutva outfit defaced the signage of a road named after Akbar and several other Muslim rulers. They wanted these roads renamed after Hindu rulers like Shivaji and Maharana Pratap.

Days later, Union home minister Rajnath Singh demanded the epithet ‘great’ for Rana Pratap. He also said that the rest of the country should follow Rajasthan’s example and devote a full chapter to the Mewar ruler in history textbooks. Many interpreted this as an official signal to knock down one of India’s most remarkable rulers.

A smear campaign against the emperor seems to be currently running on social media. Tweets, Facebook posts, blogs and chainmail are calling Akbar a “rapist, looter and killer coming from a family of drunkards, illiterates, homosexuals and child molesters”. And all sorts of falsehoods culled from TV serials, myths, legends, and propaganda are being passed off as the “real history of Akbar”.
