Reign of Akbar (1 Jan 1556 Jahr – 1 Jan 1605 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

A brilliant charismatic ruler. He gathered the reigns of power in his own hands in 1561 following a violent argument with Adham Khan, a powerful figure at the imperial court and commander of the Mughal army. He created a centralized administrative structure with ministries regulating the various provinces of the empire. His military campaigns consolidated Mughal power in Gujarat to the West and Bengal to the East. He was deeply interested in religion and philosophy. Instead of imposing Islam on his subjects, he encouraged the elaboration of a syncretic religion called the "divine faith" that focused attention on the emperor as a ruler common to all religious, ethnic, and social groups of India
