Abstract | To provide a learning unit on leadership, religious tolerance, and social customs, this paper used a 16th century Mogul Indian prince's life to promote discussion on these topics. The story of Akbar's life included his early years, education, and leadership ability, and advice from Kautilya, a fourth century Indian statesman, was interspersed within the narrative. Fascinated by religions and known for his religious tolerance, Akbar encouraged religious debates at his court and settled a war by marrying a Hindu princess. Other included aspects of 16th century Indian history and customs are these topics: the battle at Chitor, harems, Indian time-keeping devices, and hunting. The topics that are discussed throughout the narrative are: (1) leadership abilities; (2) leadership education; (3) moral values; (4) leadership advice; (5) social customs and practices; and (6) religious influences on politics. A 20-item bibliography and three woodcut prints are included. (DJC) |
