The Inimitable Birbal

Description
Born in a poor Brahmin family, Birbal rose to be a minister at the court of Akbar through his sharp intellect. His wit and wisdom endeared him not only to Akbar but also to the people of the Mughal empire. He had the rare distinction of achieving immense popularity during his lifetime, next only to that of Akbar. He was a good administrator, a good soldier and perhaps what pleased Akbar the most – a good jester. Less known is the fact that he was also a good poet. He wrote under the pen name ‘Brahma’ and a collection of his poems is preserved in the Bharatpur Museum.
