In 1575, Akbar built a 'House of Worship' at Fatehpur Sikri — a space meant for Sunni theologians to debate God. But when those debates turned petty, the emperor did something unprecedented: he threw open the doors to Hindus, Jains, Zoroastrians, Jesuits, and even atheists. This episode traces the evolution of the Ibadat Khana from a pious experiment into a revolutionary platform for interfaith dialogue. We explore how Akbar's frustration with clerical infighting led him to invite Jesuit missionaries from Goa, the Jain monk Hiravijaya Suri, and the Zoroastrian mobeds of Navsari. We also uncover the surprising role of the Portuguese inquisition — the very threat that made Akbar wary of Christian power even as he welcomed their priests. Along the way, we meet figures like Abu'l-Fazl, who documented these debates, and the sharp-tongued Jesuit Father Monserrate who left vivid accounts of the emperor's probing questions. This is the story of a ruler who dared to question revelation itself, and whose Sulh-i-Kul policy of 'universal peace' would shape Mughal India for generations. #IbadatKhana #Akbar #MughalEmpire #FatehpurSikri #InterfaithDialogue #AbulFazl #JesuitMissionaries #HiravijayaSuri #Zoroastrianism #Jainism #Christianity #Sulh-i-Kul #Monserrate #PortugueseInquisition #History #FexingoHistory #India #ReligiousDebate Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
