Who Is Great-Akbar or Maharana Pratap?

By Darshana Mantri

Not only in India but in a global level ‘The Great’ is called to those kings who ruled a major part of the world. Akbar “The Great “ Title is used in History Book Because Those Book Were Written by the Mughal Writers Only, and People Trusted it Then It Became Popular. Till now the movie like Jodha Akbar portrait the greatness of Akbar... Sadly we forgot our real hero like Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ,Rana Sanga, Bhamashah and many more… Since childhood our education system teaches us the history of Mughal kings, the Afghan kings and about the Britishers they didn't even mention about our great Indian Rulers .

So how can one get the knowledge about our Indian Rulers ?Their sacrifices for our Nation ?It is the irony of our education system that they just brainwashed children's mind from childhood with the word like Akbar the Great, by depicting the moral story of Akbar Birbal not of ‛Rana Pratap’ and ‛Bhils'.

By showing stories, fiction or movies related to Maharana Pratap his life lesson one will understand the value and respect of our great country… Rana Pratap Guru (teacher)Acharaya Raghvendra teaches the life lesson to him in that manner that Rana Pratap didn't ever discriminate between his friends who are not the son of powerful king but they are just common people called 'PRAJA' Rana Pratap after losing his fort Chittorgarh he himself motivate all his 'SAMANTS' to build a new city today known as Udaipur ‛The City Of Lakes'. He always give respect to his enemy Akbar too as he got many chance to kill Akbar but his(RANA PRATAP) principles didn't allow him to do so . There are so many positive points for Maharana Pratap all above point portrays the greatness of Rana Pratap First we need to improve our mindset then only we can take initiative to make our real heroes alive for future generations…As It is in our hands what we have to do? Because Only we young generation people can increase this thing further.

So before telling “AKBAR THE GREAT” please think What message do you have to give? which angle was good? who is great? DECIDE BY YOURSELF AND KNOW THE ANSWER.
