"Losing my religion"...REM, "Out of time"
The Mughal emperor Akbar was known for his tolerance towards other
religions specially hinduism. The major hindu force during his reign
was The Rajputs. Akbar did have his successful campaigns against the
Rajputs but he believed in burying the hatchet. He even went to the
extent of marrying a Rajput princess Joda Bai.
One of Akbar's brilliant ideas was to create a new religion comprising
the best features of all religions. You may be wondering why Iam
writing on such a topic. Well, all that i can say is that the
inspiration was sudden. It dawned on me in my FACTS class, when the
fundas concerning a single phase inverter were so blatantly being
twisted and shown to us as the holy grail of power electronics. (not
that i am some big don in PE). What i am going to do is to formulate a
new religion for the modern world with features that i feel are
necessary. These are my views and its upto you to agree with me or
not.so, here goes.......
