Rajasthan Education Minister Declares Akbar Will No Longer Be Taught As 'Great' in Schools

Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar on Sunday announced that Mughal emperor Akbar will no longer be taught as a great figure in schools.

He criticised Akbar, stating that he had plundered the country for years and asserted that no one would be allowed to praise the Mughal emperor as a ‘great personality’ in the future.

The Minister made these remarks while speaking during an event to mark the 28th state-level “Bhama Shah Samman Samaroh” at the Vivekananda Auditorium of Udaipur’s Sukhadia University.
