Akbar's Rajput Policy and Its Review

ROLE

Rajputs' contribution in the formation of Indian society and history was very important. Rajputs were regarded as heroes, courage, self-respect, independence in freedom. In the name of protecting self-respect and freedom, they were ready to die and die. All efforts were made to control the Rajputs through the East Turk Sultans.

Rajputs were not ready to accept the sovereignty of the Turks or the Mughals, despite being overwhelmed by war. Babar had defeated Sardar Rana Sangram Singh, the Chief of Rajputs in the battle of Khanwah, but despite the defeat, many powerful states had emerged in Rajputana. These kingdoms were divided among themselves, but in terms of religion and culture they were tied in one formula.

AKBAR's RAJPUT POLICY

Akbar himself was visionary. He knew the power of Rajputs well. In the name of the establishment of the Hindu kingdom, Rajput could jeopardize the security of the Mughal empire by organizing other Hindu rulers. With the aim of removing the potential danger, Akbar decided to make friendship with the Rajputs, make friends with friends, adopt a policy of friendship, cooperation and marital relations.

Snakes also die and not even blackjack

Akbar adopted a policy of "the snakes were killed and the blacks did not break" with the Rajputs. By keeping Rajput kingdom independent, on one hand, protecting his self-esteem, on the other side, he accepted the sovereignty of the Mughal Empire and made him his assistant. He gave Rajputs the opportunity of appointment to the highest positions in Mughal army and administration. Rajputs made significant contributions in the expansion of Mughal empire by mixing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Mughals. They started displaying propaganda towards the Mughals.

Akbar - A skilled diplomat

Akbar was a skilled diplomat. In the early days of his reign, he had had the bitter experience of the Ottoman Empire's selfish behavior. In Ottoman warlords, this assumption was made that they were the only pillars for the protection and expansion of the Mughal Empire. Akbar could not strengthen the founding of the Mughal empire in the Hindi-speaking region on the strength of cooperation of Turks.

To avoid the fraud of the Turks, he wanted to use the service of the Rajput warlords in the form of a shield. By seeking the support of Rajput warlords, he wanted to control the ambition and power of the Muslim rich. In other words, Akbar's Rajput Policy was a symbol of his unique talent, foresight and skillful diplomacy.

Implementation of Akbar's Rajput Policy

Friendship with Aamer

Amer Kachwaha was the state of Rajputs. During Akbar's reign, Aamer's ruler was Bihramal or Bharmal. Aamer's State was invading from the home war. Bharatjaan's Bhatjaja wanted to be the ruler of Aamer with the help of the Subedar Mewar's Subedar Muhammad Sharfuddin. Bharmalal's relationship with the Marwar state of the neighborhood was not good. In such a situation, Bharman wanted to protect himself by getting military help from the Mughals.

Akbar traveled to Ajmer in 1562 AD He wanted to pay tribute to Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti's mazar. Bharmal met Akbar in a place called Sagner in order to take advantage of this opportunity and accepting sovereignty of the Mughals, the senior daughter Jodha proposed to marry Akbar. Akbar accepted the proposal of Bharatmel and got married to his daughter. Bharmkal got a reward of five thousand from the Mughal army and his sons, Lord Das and Pota Mansingh were appointed to the highest post in the Mughal army.

Waxing Victory

Rul Maaladev was the ruler of Malta. The fort of Malta was under the control of Raimal's commander Jaimal. To conquer the fever, Akbar authorized Sher-e-ud-din. The soldiers of Ja'amal showed bravery in the war with Sherfuddin. But in the end Jaimal Chittor escaped and in 1562 AD, the fort of Malta came under the control of the Mughals.

Gondwana Vijay

The state of Gondwana was near modern Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. Gondwana, situated between mountains and forests, was not invaded by any Muslim ruler at the fort of Garpathanga. The ruler of Gondwana was Veer Narayan. At that time, the hero's age was low, hence the Princess Durgavati (who was the mother of Veer Narayana) of the Chandel dynasty of Mahova was being governed by Gondwana for 15 years as a conservator.

Very entrepreneur friendly and deserving of the Rani Durgavati lineage tradition. He was very popular among the people. Akbar wanted to get the accumulated property of Gondwana, so he sent Asaf Khan to attack Gondwana in 1564 AD. In the two battles of Narahi and Chauragarh, Durgavati introduced his valor with the Mughal soldiers. But seeing the possibility of defeat after being hit by an arrow, he committed suicide. Veer Narayan was also killed in the war. Gondwana-Vijay got huge wealth for the Mughals.

The accumulated wealth of the millennium was found in the hands of Asaf Khan. One hundred gold coin was found. The Mughals received valuable pearls, jewellery, gold idol etc. There was no moral ground to attack Gondwana. Akbar invaded Gondwana for the purpose of achieving wealth and fulfilling his imperial ambitions and caused the death of the heroic queen.

Akbar's Rajput Policy Review

There is no doubt that Akbar was imperialist. He wanted to establish the monarchy of India in India under the control of several small states of India.
