You Are Capable of More Than You Know – A Message to Every Student

Many historians have praised Akbar's greatness but very few historians have described Akbar's lowly deeds.
With his dirty intentions, Akbar used to organize the Nauroz fair in Delhi every year, in which men were prohibited from entering. Akbar used to go to this fair dressed as a woman and the woman who charmed him was brought to Akbar by the maids through deceit. One day, Maharana Pratap's niece, the daughter of his younger brother Maharaj Shakti Singh, came to see the decorations of the fair at the Nauroz fair. Her name was Baisa Kiran Devi, who was married to Prithviraj of Bikaner.
On seeing the beauty of Baisa Kiran Devi, Akbar could not control himself and without thinking, he called her to the Zenana Mahal through the maids. As soon as Akbar tried to touch Baisa Kirandevi, Kiran d\Devi took out a dagger from her waist and threw Akbar down, put her foot on his chest and put the dagger on his neck and said, you lowly... wretched man, don't you know that I am with those women? I am the niece of Maharana Pratap, whose name does not let you sleep. Tell me what is your last wish? Akbar's blood has dried up. He would have never thought that Emperor Akbar would be at the feet of a Rajput Baisa today. Akbar said, I made a mistake in recognizing me, please forgive me Devi. Then Kiran Devi said that after today, the Nauroz fair will not be held in Delhi and no woman will be harassed. Akbar folded his hands and said that after today, the fair will never be held. After that day, the fair was never held.
The description of this incident is given on page number 632 in Sagat Raso written by Girdhar Asiya. This incident is also described in a painting in the Bikaner Museum through a couplet -
Kiran climbed like a lioness, drawing the dagger on her chest!!
Akbar is begging for his life with outstretched hands!!
Blessed is Kiran Baisaa!! Salute to her bravery🚩🚩🚩
