Most people know the Mughal Empire for the Taj Mahal, but its greatest ruler was Akbar, who took the throne at thirteen and went on to create a new kind of Indian state. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how Akbar conquered the Rajputs, then married them—literally and diplomatically—to build a coalition of Hindu and Muslim nobles. They discuss the innovative Mansabdari system that turned a motley army into an imperial machine, Akbar's controversial creation of the Din-i-Ilahi religion, and how his policy of sulh-i-kul (universal peace) kept the peace in a land of many faiths. We meet his Hindu general Raja Man Singh, his brilliant finance minister Todar Mal, and the Persian historian Abul Fazl, whose Akbarnama recorded it all. From the massive fort of Agra to the planned city of Fatehpur Sikri, from the battle of Haldighati against Maharana Pratap to the stunning Ibadat Khana debates, this episode shows how Akbar's reign turned India into a global power long before the British arrived.
