Lahore: October 15 is 474th birth anniversary of the Great Mughal Emperor Shahanshah Akbar-e-Azam. He was born on 15th of October 1542 near Umer Kot, Sindh. He was the third Mughal Emperor. As a ruler, Akbar introduced several far-sighted social reforms, including prohibiting sati, legalising widow remarriage and raising the age of marriage.

Mughal India developed a strong and stable economy, leading to commercial expansion and greater patronage of culture. He was fond of literature, and created a library of over 24,000 volumes. Akbar’s courts at Delhi, Agra, and Fatehpur Sikri became centres of the arts, letters, and learning. He left behind a lasting legacy of pluralism and tolerance that underlies the values of the modern republics of the subcontinent. Time magazine included his name in its list of top 25 world leaders.
