However, it is highly unlikely that they are true considering the strict court etiquette of the Mughals, which would not have tolerated outspoken attitude of anyone like Birbal, and these tales are not mentioned in any official Mughal document. Local folk tales emerged primarily in 19th century involving his interactions with Akbar, portraying him as being extremely clever and witty. He also had a naturally generous nature and all these traits combined-elegant repartee, largesse, and poetical talent-made Birbal the ideal Mughal courtier. Birbal was one of the first officers to join Akbar's court, possibly as early as 1556, when he was twenty-eight years old. He was the only Hindu to adopt Din-i Ilahi, the religion founded by Akbar. In February 1586, Birbal led an army to crush an unrest in the north-west Indian subcontinent where he was killed along with many troops in an ambush by the rebel tribe. He had a close association with Emperor Akbar and was one of his most important courtiers, part of a group called the navaratnas (nine jewels). Birbal was appointed by Akbar as a Minister (Mantri) and used to be a Poet and Singer in around 1556–1562. He is mostly known in the Indian subcontinent for the folk tales which focus on his wit. Main advisor in the Mughal court of Emperor Akbarīirbal ( IPA: born Mahesh Das 1528 – 16 February 1586 ), or Raja Birbal, was a Saraswat Hindu Bhatt Kayastha advisor and main commander ( Mukhya Senapati) of army in the court of the Mughal emperor, Akbar.
