<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Bharatvarshji, please do more research on this. According to some (especially HM Elliot, PN Oak etc), it is not true that Akbar worked against Sati. PN Oak goes further saying Akbar even promoted it and organized celebrated and glorified sati acts. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Thanks for the info, will look into it, but when we think about it, the former is more likely since Akbar was atleast a nominal Muslim through a long period of his life and did not have much sympathy for Hindu customs, I remember reading that even Aurangzeb tried to ban this along with his music ban.
