My recollection is that Akbar earned his stripes as a Ghazi (killer of Kafirs)after beheading Hemu . It is well recorded that Akbar was inordinately proud of his attainment of Ghazihood. That such was the case(the inordinate pride that the Muslims felt in being a Ghazi), is enshrined in the naming of the town of Ghaziabad (the city of Ghazis) near Dilli.
