Akbar II is read about 329 times a day, in 36 languages.
Counted to 17 September 2026, not since.
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?Akbar II held the throne of the Mughal Empire while the throne itself emptied of meaning. By 1835, the East India Company stopped even pretending he mattered - his name vanished from their coins, the last formal fiction of his sovereignty gone.

Born 22 April 1760, Akbar was the second son of Shah Alam II and inherited an empire already hollowed by British encroachment. He ruled from 1806 to 1837 with almost no real authority, the East India Company tightening its grip through those decades. He sent Ram Mohan Roy to Britain as an ambassador and conferred on him the title of Raja. In 1835 the Company made the erosion official: it stopped calling itself subject to the Mughal Emperor and struck his name from its coinage, deleting the Persian inscriptions that had acknowledged him. He is credited with founding the Hindu-Muslim unity festival Phool Walon Ki Sair. He died 28 September 1837 and was buried beside the dargah of Sufi saint Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki at Mehrauli; his son Bahadur Shah II succeeded him and closed the dynasty.
