In this episode, Odd Salon Fellow Sahil M Bansal explores a story on the line between historical fact and folklore, and the exceptional 16th century relationship between India’s Mughal Emperor Akbar, and his witty advisor, Birbal.
Emperor Akbar ascended the throne at the young age of 14, after the tragic loss of his father. Ruling over a vast territory, Akbar’s policies of religious and cultural tolerance led to him being known as “Akbar the Great” - but in popular culture, it is his relationship with his intelligent, witty, and loyal courtier Raja Birbal that is most famous, and has come down through the centuries in the form of stories and lessons.
