Synthesis in Rajasthan: Mughal Emperor Akbar as an incarnation of Lord Rama

by Guest Fri Mar 03, 2017 10:16 am

As emperor, Akbar promoted Hindus at all levels of his administration, married a Rajput princess, and entrusted his army to his former Hindu opponent, Raja Man Singh of Jaipur. He ended the jizya tax levied only on non-Muslims, ordered the translation of the Sanskrit classics into Persian, codified minority rights, and filled his court with Hindu and Muslim artists and intellectuals. Akbar personally adopted many Hindu and yogic practices, and even became a vegetarian, criticizing meat-eaters for having converted “their inner sides, where reside the mysteries of Divinity, into a burial ground of animals.”2 So great an impression did all this make on his Hindu subjects that in some of the Bardic traditions of Rajasthan, Akbar came to be equated with the Hindu divinity Lord Ram.

If Akbar had more than one wife, he couldn't be the reincarnation of Rama. Case closed.

Lord Krishna was also an incarnation of Lord Rama. Lord Krishna had 16,000 wives. Case closed.

Lord Krishna was not the incarnation of Lord Rama.

all of them were incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Case closed.

All these acts raised Akbar to the status of a god among his Hindu subjects. They thought he was an avatar of Vishnu. Temple hymns eulogised the emperor, Rajputana bards sang paeans to his glory.
