Question

Akbar was born at ______.
A. Kabul
B. Amarkot
C. Lahore
D. Agra

Answer 1

Hint: It is a city in the Sindh province of Pakistan. It is the 68th largest city in Pakistan. The local language used in this city is Dhatki, which is one of the Rajasthani languages of the Indo-Aryan language family.

Complete answer: Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar is also known as Akbar was the third Mughal Emperor. He was born in Umerkot on the date of 23rd November 1542, Sindhi is formerly known as Amarkot. He was the son of the second Mughal Emperor Humayun. He became the king in the year 1556 at the age of 13 when his father died.
Bairam Khan was appointed as the regent of Akbar. Soon after coming to power, Akbar had defeated Hemu, who was the general of the Afghan forces, during the Second Battle of Panipat. After some years, he had ended the regency of Bairam Khan and took charge of the kingdom.
In addition to all of his military gains, the emperor had solidified his rule by repealing the jizya tax on those who were non-Muslims and also by courting the favor of the powerful Rajput caste, to the extent of marrying the Rajput princesses.
He founded his own religion, which was known as "Din-i-Elahi" or the "Divine Faith"; the religion, somehow, amounted only to a form of personality cult for Akbar, and this quickly dissolved when he died.

Thus, Option B is the right answer.

Note: However, Akbar's most lasting contributions were made to the arts as well as to Indian religion. He started a large collection of literature, that included the Akbar-nama as well as the Ain-i-Akbari, and incorporated art from worldwide into the Mughal collections. Not only this, he had also commissioned the building of the very widely admired buildings, which included the Panj Mahal. Having a greatly tolerant attitude towards religion, Akbar also preserved Hindu temples.
