So, Mughal Emperor Akbar lusted after a Hindu woman Rang Kumari and demanded her presence in his court.

Cleverly,she instead invited Akbar to her house. Akbar disguised himself and secretly reached there. She trapped him inside and informed husband. He thrashed Akbar with shoes
Rang Kumari's husband had no idea the intruder pursuing his wife was Emperor Akbar. He thrashed Akbar with shoes and locked him inside the room.

The next day he informed the civil judge (Qazi) and handed over the intruder. Akbar was totally humiliated and couldn't speak a word.
This story comes from the Sikh Scripture Dasam Granth whose authorship is traditionally ascribed to Guru Gobind Singh. This is one of the parables of Upakhyan. Screenshots excerpted from English translation by Pritpal Singh Bindra
Some lowlife attention seekers are calling this story a "fiction", trying to malign me & my work for sharing this "ahistorical" story

They should rather learn basic English before reading my tweets. I used the word "parable" to describe the story. This is what a 'parable' means
Story comes from Dasam Granth, a primary source from late 17th century. It is removed from Akbar's time & not a contemporary source.We can't be sure of historicity of the event. I had anticipated the reaction from usual suspects who twist. Which is why I described it as "parable"
