Art/Literary - History / The Court of Emperor Akbar
English term or phrase: Nine Gems
Hi,

Re Potlu and his companions of cartoon fame, I gather that the only 2 characters that actually find a place in Indian History are Akbar and Birbal, and that Emperor Akbar had Nine Gems (Courtiers) in his court, and one of them was Birbal. He was exceedingly witty and intelligent.

Many thanks,

Simon

ललि‍तजी को बेहद लालसा है यह जानने की, कि‍ नौ रत्नों कौन हैं, क्‍या काम करते थे, आदि‍ इत्‍यादि‍. जनाब थोड़ा कष्‍ट संदर्भ कि‍ए गए लिंक पर क्‍लि‍क करने का भी कर लेते. क्षमा कीजि‍एगा ललि‍तजी, पर बि‍ना पूरा जवाब पढ़े तटस्‍थ हो जाना, अच्‍छी बात नहीं है, या कहूं, नकारात्‍मक तेवर?? अन्‍यथा यही बात और कि‍सी ने क्‍यों नहीं उठाई?

For english speakers, I'll put English translation of Lalit's words. He suggested that if I could have given explanation of these nine gems as well, than it would have been better. I replied him that it would have been better, if he would have clicked on the referred link, he would have got the same. Also, in note, I've written that 'Lalit is eager to know- who were these nine gems? what did they do? etc. etc. I've again asked there that he'd have clicked on referred link, then he might have got his answer. I've again asked him politely that it's not fair that you are neutral without reading the whole answer completely. I have objected against his negative approach to gather support for his answer. Why is it so, that noone else raised any such silly question?
