Birbal The Wise
Birbal was a Hindu advisor in the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar during his rule in India and is mostly remembered in folk tales, which focus on his wit. He belonged to the Brahmin class and was appointed by the Emperor as a poet and singer around 1556–1562, later formed a close association with him, becoming an important advisor. Birbal was extremely clever and witty. Being surrounded by envious Muslim courtiers; these tales involve him outsmarting them and sometimes even the Emperor, using only his intelligence and cunning, often with giving witty and humorous responses and impressing the Emperor.
Let children enjoy the wit and wisdom of Birbal.
