It was written in Persian, the literary language of the Mughals, and includes vivid and detailed descriptions of his life and times. Abu'l-Nasir Muhammad (4 March 1519 – 20 November 1551) better known by the sobriquet, Hindal (Turkish: "Taker of India"), was a Mughal prince and the youngest son of Emperor Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire and the first Mughal emperor.  He was also the older brother of Gulbadan Begum (the author of "Humayun-nama"), the younger half-brother of the second Mughal emperor Humayun, as well as the paternal uncle and father-in-law of the third Mughal emperor Akbar. Tansen (c. 1500 – 1586), also referred to as Tan Sen or Mian Tansen, was a prominent figure of North Indian (Hindustani) classical music.  Born in a Hindu family, he learnt and perfected his art in the northwest region of modern Madhya Pradesh.  He began his career and spent most of his adult life in the court and patronage of the Hindu king of Rewa State, Ram Chand, where Tansen's musical abilities and studies gained widespread fame.  This reputation brought him to the attention of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, who sent messengers to Ram Chand requesting Tansen to join the musicians at the Mughal court.  Tansen did not want to go, Ram Chand encouraged him to gain wider audience, and sent him along with gifts to Akbar.  In 1562, about the age of 60, the Vaishnava musician Tansen joined the Akbar court, and his performances became a subject of many court historians. Hamida Banu Begum ( 1527 – 29 August 1604, Persian: حمیدہ بانو بیگم‎ , "Ḥamīda Banū Begum " ‎ ) was a wife of the second Mughal emperor Humayun and the mother of his successor, the third Mughal emperor Akbar.

Abu'l-Fath Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar (15 October 1542 – 27 October 1605), popularly known as Akbar I (, literally "the great") and later Akbar the Great, 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 nearly all of the Indian Subcontinent north of the Godavari river.  His power and influence, however, extended over the entire country 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 who had near-divine status.
