@syedurahman Rightly said Bhai. The principal reasons for this are political. The traditional animosity encouraged by historiography was based on Akbar’s promulgation of the Mahzar proclamation of 1579. In it Akbar sought to combine the authority of the Ulema with that of the ruler - a…
In my view #Mughal emperor Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar's contribution in the establishment of the Muslims and Islam in the Indian Subcontinent hasn't been truly appreciated. Before his coronation, the Muslim rule in North India was very fragile. In 200 years of Delhi Sultanate…

@Medieval_India Very interesting. Paintings commissioned by Mughal subahdars of Bengal are rare. I see the faint beginnings of the Murshidabad style in this painting.

@jose_the_bose A deeper dive into the circumstances reveals the brothers indulged him for a long time; proving loyal on more than one occasion. Hindāl gave his life for him and Kamrān rushed to his help in the north-west, regularly, before Humāyun’s eviction from the Gangetic plain.
A fine but underestimated man the Emperor Humāyun. The only ruler of India - as far as I know - to have lost and won back an empire within the span of his own life.
#OTD (6th March, 1508), Humayun was born at Kabul. "The date of his birth was found by the poet Maulana Masnadi in the words 'Sultan Humayun Khan', and a minor poet of Kabul found it in 'Shah firus qadr' (Shah of victories might). A few days later he received the name Humayun👇🏻
