2. down to the Mughals. Haldighati is a mountain pass in the Aravallis and is situated in Rajsamand dist of Rajasthan,44 km away from Udaipur. One of the fiercest battles, the Battle of #Haldighati was fought on 18 Jun 1576 between Akbar’s forces led by his general, Man Singh ..3

The legend of Dulla Bhatti who led a rebellion against #mughal emperor #Akbar The memory of Bhatti specially as a saviour of Punjabi girls is recalled every #lohri #lohricelebration #Lohri2023 Here’s his story. A thread 🧵 👇
Sulla Bhatti was a Punjabi Muslim Rajput born on 23 July 1547. His father and grandfather were executed by Akbar for opposing a new land revenue scheme.
He was born 4 days after his father was executed by Mughal Emperor Akbar. When his mother Ladhi explained to him about the fate of his father and grandfather he turned a rebel against the emperor.
For over 400 years, history has been haunted by Anarkali, the beautiful court dancer who was buried alive by Emperor Akbar, for her love affair with Prince Salim (Akbar’s son and the future Emperor Jahangir). But is the story fact or #fiction? The truth will surprise you! 1/11
This tragic love story has many modern retellings, including the 1960s classic Hindi film Mughal-e-Azam. But if Anarkali is just #folklore, whose grave lies in the magnificent ‘Tomb of Anarkali’ in the heart of #Lahore, the former Mughal capital? 2/11
The grave bears the couplet in #Persian: ‘Ah! If I could behold the face of my beloved once more, I would thank God until the day of resurrection’. It is signed by ‘Majnun Salim Akbar’ ('Enamoured Son of Akbar'). It’s the only clue we have. 3/11

On this day (June 26th 1579), following the footsteps of his ancestors, #Mughal Emperor Akbar, personally recited the Friday khutbah (religious sermon).
#Akbar declared himself as "Padishah i Islam", much like his Timurid ancestors Shah Rukh Mirza & Ulugh Beg Mirza.
#Akbar declared himself as "Padishah i Islam", much like his Timurid ancestors Shah Rukh Mirza & Ulugh Beg Mirza.
This was by no means surprising, for the Timurid's followed the notion of sacred kingship, that is, the monarchs reign was bestowed by God, that the monarch was the shadow of God on earth (zil-i-ilahi), & a guide of God's creation. Moreover, Emperor #Humayun in a dispatch to
#Ottoman Sultan, stressed that whilst he (Suleiman) was the Caliph across his domains, the Timurid-Mughals were the rightful Caliphs of Hind & Sindh & no other external entity has the right to such a claim.
What Akbar issued was no different to what his ancestors had practiced

Akbar is not just the greatest among all the Mughals, but also one of the greatest the world has seen. How did he come to know as such a great ruler?
Firstly, Akbar was known to be great, because he took care of his people well. Before him, most rulers cared only about themselves and kept collecting taxes more and more.
