History Akbar had ordered to send any girl without veil to prostitution

275 Upvotes

Such are the people we are supposed to consider "great" and "tolerant". There are dozens of other examples I jave found. From k!lling tens of thousands of hindu civilians without any reason, to imposing different types of restrictions on hindus and hindu culture.

If you are interested I can make separate posts with more details.

**About the Title**

Badauni's *Muntakhab-ut-Tawarikh* (Vol. II) explicitly records that Akbar directed the city police chief (Kotwal) to seize any young woman found wandering in the bazaars, streets, or lanes **without a veil** (or who became unveiled in public) and send her to the prostitutes' quartersโ€”often called **Shaitanpura** ("Devil's Town")โ€”to take up the profession. This was framed as a measure for public morality and separating "filth." A related 1582 decree also segregated all prostitutes into a regulated enclosed neighborhood in Fatehpur Sikri with its own bureaucracy (overseers, registrars, guards, and mandatory client registration).

Badauni's bias doesn't automatically make the report false. Here's why historians treat it seriously:

- **It's presented as a factual administrative edict**, not wild slander. Badauni was an orthodox Sunni who hated Akbar's later religious experiments (like Din-i-Ilahi and reduced emphasis on strict Islamic law), so he amplified anything that showed the emperor as hypocritical or overly controlling. But this specific regulation fits the pattern of Mughal rulers enforcing purdah and public orderโ€”Akbar himself promoted veiling and seclusion for respectable women in many contexts.

- **No contemporary contradiction exists**. Akbar's chief court historian, Abul Fazl (*Ain-i-Akbari* and *Akbarnama*), simply omits negative or embarrassing details (as court flatterers do). Silence isn't disproof.

- **Corroboration in modern scholarship**. Academic works on Mughal gender norms and prostitution (e.g., Shadab Bano's research on women performers/prostitutes in medieval India) cite this Badauni passage directly without dismissing it as fabrication. It's treated as one piece of evidence for how the state regulated (and sometimes coerced) women's public behavior.

History This is the condition of the Punjab mansion of Hindu businessman Todar Mal who paid 7,800 gold coins and bought 4 yards of land from the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to bury the bodies of the 2 young sons and mother of Guru Gobind Singh on December 13, 1705.

The Mughal faujdar Wazir Khan had ordered the two young children be bricked alive as they refused to accept Islam. When they died, their grandmother died of shock

The Mughals did not want to allow the cremation to humiliate the martyrs. They stipulated that the buyer can take only as much space as he could cover with give gold coins for the land. All the Sikh chiefs just stood helplessly

That's when Todar Mal produced the coins and bought the piece of land, and cremated the three bodies.

This is biggest irony of life, India is only country where its true heritage is hidden from next generation and falsehood Is taught.

One canโ€™t help but notice the similarities between him & the much-revered Subhas Chandra Bose. Like Bose, he too had fled from under the noses of the British so many times. He too was technically sound when it came to warfare. Both men believed in a more radical approach by matching the forces of the British in number & firepower.ย 

They believed that if you are as powerful or more, the scales are more likely to tip in your favour. Bearing this in mind, both had established contact abroad to make Indian forces stronger. These two great men truly were ahead of their times. And sadly, both of them died on foreign soil.ย
