30 SOCIAL SCIENTIST commenting on Shaikh Mubarak's career he tends to suggest that it were the 'Iraqis' (Shias?) who came to dominate round this time. 29. Ain-i Akbari, vol. Ill, entitled, 'Ahwal-i Hindustan, pp. 3-4. 30. Akbamama, MS. [Possibly Abul Fazl's first draft], Br. Library, Add. 27, 247, ft. 401b-404b, carry the text of a memorandum containing Akbar's orders on queries and requests sent to him by Murad from Deccan in 1595. This memorandum is not included in the final draft. The statement of Akbar cited above can be read on f. 402a of the same MS. 31. For Abul Fazl's expositions of these theories see the relevant sections of Ain-i Akbari, particularly the section entitled, Riwa-i Rozi. 32. In Ibe place in Ain-i Akbari, vol. Ill, pp. 177-91. Some of these sayings are recorded in Akbamama as well under the dates where Akbar is supposed to have uttered them. 33. Akbamama, MS., Br. Library, Add. 27, 247, f. 403b. 34. Ain-i Akbari, vol. Ill p, 184, 190. 35. Har Sah Daftar, Nawal Kishore, 1862, p. 123. 36. Akbar's rejection of 'divine incarnation' [hulul] theory is reflected, as suggested by Athar Ali (his latest paper, 'The Religious World of Jahangir', Proceedings of Indian History Congress, Calcutta, 1990, p. 298, f.n. 57), in his saying that in India no one set a claim to prophethood, because of the theory of divine incarnation. Abul Fazl's calling Todar Mal a simpleton [sada-lauh] for his attachment to his personal images and his disapproving references to Todar Mal's bigotry (kinatozi) are pointers to the ideological reservations that existed between him, and ideologue of sulh-i kul, and Todar Mal. In addition to this the author of Dabistan-i Mazahib quotes a well argued statement of Akbar criticizing Brahmins for believing in the doctrine of incarnation (hulul). 37.
