¹ Compare C.H. I, III, 361 for the anecdote. For the position of the Hindus in the State, see an article of Professor Muhammad Habib in the Hindustan Review, 1924, 'The empire of Delhi, etc. etc.' Compare the remarks of Abu'l Fazl in A.A., II, 2 how Akbar attempted to 'convert the thorny field of enmity into a garden of amity and friendship'.
