Lol this is hilarious. Don’t you people have any shame being so arrogant when you are so ignorant? The so called “authentic contemporary portrait” that you shared was painted in 1850 a full 250 years after Akbar’s death! It looks nothing like his original face. Instead of endlessly spewing clueless rants about historical scholarship and arrogantly advising Amish Tripathi about his research - maybe try using an actual contemporary portrait of Akbar painted during his lifetime instead? There are plenty of portraits of Akbar painted during his lifetime or immediately after his death where his central Asian features are self evident. They clearly depict him with features that suggest Central Asian / Turko-Mongol ancestry: high cheekbones, almond-shaped eyes, a broad forehead, and a relatively flat face compared to typical South Asian phenotypes. These traits are consistent with the Timurid lineage, as Akbar was descended from the Timurids on his father's side (Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, traced his ancestry to Timur and Genghis Khan). Here are some real authentic portraits painted by court artists from Akbarnama and other folios. Even the last official portrait of Akbar’s son Jahangir holding a painting of Akbar after his death, shows that he had the same Turko-Mongol facial features, reflecting his foreign ancestry. Maybe go read a book and learn what real research is next time before arrogantly posturing & making up BS about history first.

Nitin Gadkari ji says "A new AI-driven toll system will capture photos of number plates & deduct toll amount directly from bank accounts". So why can’t we use same technology to capture photos of potholes & deduct salaries of govt employees? Accountability can't be one sided!

The comment on Dhurandhar and Indian Army was from Reet Padda (sister of Aneet) But now see the reality of her elder sister Aneet Padda >She follows Hasan piker >During the India-Pak war, He called India a rouge terr*r state Now, be honest. What does an actress like her deserve for supporting anti nationalists ? I don't want to say that word.

I wrote about one of the East India Company's two occupations of Kharg Island in my book Return of a King. The Company actually occupied Kharg twice: once from 1838-1842, on the orders of Lord Auckland (shown below) when they eventually withdrew in confusion after the disasterous Retreat from Kabul. Then the Company occupied Kharg for a second time from 1856-7. This time they pulled out again, due the outbreak of the Great Uprising of 1857, and the Highland regiments who had occupied it under Sir Jamew Outram were rushed eastwards to break the Siege of Lucknow. On both occasions, occupying Kharg seemed like a good idea at the time, but proved a strategic dead-end. It showed that the Company could project power into the heart of the Persian Gulf at will, but it also highlighted their inability to translate naval dominance into lasting political stability in the region. Shame our current leaders seem unable to learn the lessons of history...
