Birbal

I got an amusing Google referral: "Birbal" Akbar employee website

Birbal was one of the Nine Jewels of Emperor Akbar's court -- one of nine masters in their various fields whom he kept near him (another was the musician Tansen, whom I posted about earlier). The thought of Birbal as Akbar's employee made me laugh. The searcher must have been looking for stories about Birbal and the emperor -- they are many, and humorous, so perhaps it was appropriate for me to laugh. Anyway, here is a sampler of some Birbal stories. Try them!
