अक़बर की दूसरी राजधानी कौन सी है ?

जवाबःः- फतेहपुर सीकरी


फतेहपुर सीकरी (उर्दू: فتحپور سیکری), एक नगर है जो कि मुगल सम्राट अकबर ने सन् 1571 में बसाया था। वर्तमान में यह आगरा जिला का एक नगरपालिका बोर्ड है। यह भारत के उत्तर प्रदेश राज्य में स्थित है। यह यहाँ के मुगल साम्राज्य में अकबर के राज्य में 1571 से 1585 तक मुगल साम्राज्य की राजधानी रही फिर इसे खाली कर दिया गया, शायद पानी की कमी के कारण। यह सिकरवार राजपूत राजा की रियासत थी जो बाद में इसके आसपास खेरागढ़ और मध्यप्रदेश के मुरैना जिले में बस गए। फतेहपुर सीकरी मुसलिम वास्तुकला का सबसे अच्‍छा उदाहरण है। फतेहपुर सीकरी मस्जिद के बारे में कहा जाता है कि यह मक्‍का की मस्जिद की नकल है और इसके डिजाइन हिंदू और पारसी वास्‍तुशिल्‍प से लिए गए हैं। मस्जिद का प्रवेश द्वार ५४ मीटर ऊँचा बुलंद दरवाजा है जिसका निर्माण १५७३ ई० में किया गया था। मस्जिद के उत्तर में शेख सलीम चिश्‍ती की दरगाह है जहाँ नि:संतान महिलाएँ दुआ मांगने आती हैं।

Abu'l-Fath Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar(25 October 1542 – 27 October 1605),popularly known as Akbar the Great] (Persian: اکبر اعظم Persian pronunciation: [akbarɪ azam]), and also as Akbar I (Persian pronunciation: [akbar]),was the third Mughal emperor, who reigned from 1556 to 1605. Akbar succeeded his father, Humayun, under a regent, Bairam Khan, who helped the young emperor expand and consolidate Mughal domains in India.

A strong personality and a successful general, Akbar gradually enlarged the Mughal Empire to include much of the Indian subcontinent. His power and influence, however, extended over the entire subcontinent because of Mughal military, political, cultural, and economic dominance. To unify the vast Mughal state, Akbar established a centralised system of administration throughout his empire and adopted a policy of conciliating conquered rulers through marriage and diplomacy. To preserve peace and order in a religiously and culturally diverse empire, he adopted policies that won him the support of his non-Muslim subjects. Eschewing tribal bonds and Islamic state identity, Akbar strove to unite far-flung lands of his realm through loyalty, expressed through an Indo-Persian culture, to himself as an emperor.

Mughal India developed a strong and stable economy, leading to commercial expansion and greater patronage of culture. Akbar himself was a patron of art and culture. He was fond of literature, and created a library of over 24,000 volumes written in Sanskrit, Urdu, Persian, Greek, Latin, Arabic and Kashmiri, staffed by many scholars, translators, artists, calligraphers, scribes, bookbinders and readers. He did much of the cataloging himself through three main groupings. Akbar also established the library of Fatehpur Sikri exclusively for women, and he decreed that schools for the education of both Muslims and Hindus should be established throughout the realm. He also encouraged bookbinding to become a high art. Holy men of many faiths, poets, architects, and artisans adorned his court from all over the world for study and discussion. Akbar's courts at Delhi, Agra, and Fatehpur Sikri became centres of the arts, letters, and learning. Timurid and Perso-Islamic culture began to merge and blend with indigenous Indian elements, and a distinct Indo-Persian culture emerged characterized by Mughal style arts, painting, and architecture. Disillusioned with orthodox Islam and perhaps hoping to bring about religious unity within his empire, Akbar promulgated Din-i-Ilahi, a syncretic creed derived mainly from Islam and Hinduism as well as some parts of Zoroastrianism and Christianity.

Akbar's reign significantly influenced the course of
