Dear Editors, |
|
|
|
|
|
My request is to remove the title of “Ghazi” from Akbar’s Misplaced Pages page as the citation mentioned in ref#1 quoting the book “Theory and Practice of Muslim State in India” by Aditya Prakashan authored by Kishori Saran Lal in 1999 is the ONLY citation provided citing Akbar as Ghazi and no other valid citation could be found. |
|
|
|
|
|
And the cited author (Kishori Saran Lal, here) itself been labelled as extreme “right-wing” by other contemporary historians including noted historian Jeremy Black. <ref>Jeremy Black. Contesting History: Narratives of Public History. Bloomsbury Publishing; 13 March 2014. ISBN 978-1-4725-1953-5. p. 235 </ref> |

His other work viz. “The Legacy of Muslim Rule in India (1993)” has been criticized by Peter Jackson in the Journal of the “Royal Asiatic Society”, stating that book contains "a markedly selective and one-sided account of India's Muslim past” |

Prof. Avril A. Powell of University of London labelled his book as "propaganda" |
|

There are few other Indian professors as well including Prof. Irfan Habib who labelled his recent works as “tendentious, communal and deeply objectionable” but the point which i was making is considering the present situation and the amount of unverified and misleading polarized content available on social media and web against the Mughals in India, it would be appropriate for Misplaced Pages to stick to standard sources, references and citations only and not to allow particular groups to use it as a tool for manipulating the masses by providing half or misleading information or any other kind of misinterpretation of standard texts and target their political agendas from Misplaced Pages’s shoulders. |
|
|
|
|
|
My opinion: As far as the killing of Hemu is concerned, as cited by the author, Akbar was only 14 year old kid in the 2nd Battle of Panipat and it was actually Bairam Khan who was leading the Mughal Front, so clearly the case of Akbar declaring himself as Ghazi should not be considered as he is just a kid. Also, it cannot be verified, until and unless someone video recorded that declaration 😅, or unless this info is found in any other medieval era text like Ain-E-Akbari or some other text written by someone during that period, which is not available in this case. |
|
|
|
|
|
You can ignore “my opinion” part but i believe i provided sufficient evidence above to NOT consider the present cited source as a “Standard citation” to label Akbar as a ‘Ghazi’. |
|
|
|
|

It is also important to consider this edit as necessary as we are living at a time where an Emperor who was once considered as equal as that of Ashok in principles and ideals, his image is being questioned by many and is being bombarded with allegations and unverified and twisted accusations. To maintain Misplaced Pages’s apolitical nature, it is of prime importance to only consider relevant and verified information on it’s page. (specially when the page is on the top hit list of vandals and cyber hooligans) |
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore, kindly consider accepting my request to remove the title of “Ghazi” from Akbar’s Misplaced Pages page. |

Thank you for your valuable time. |
