| | Kamat's Potpourri: When the Moguls Ruled ... - Akbar the Great |
 | | Akbar inherited the throne, after the sudden death of his father king Humayun, at the age of 13, in 1556. |
 | | Eventually, Akbar came up with his own "religion of god' Din-i-Ilahi, more a fraternal order, headed by himself, than a religion, based on a creed of harmony among peoples and a practice that involved making disciples of his leading nobles. |
 | | Aurangjeb tore down Hindu temples and revived the Jijya--and a Hindu consciousness that after his death was to help pull the Mogul empire apart, weaken India, and let in the British. |
