According to a report of the Indian Express, Pakistani historian Mubarak Ali has written in his research paper Akbar in Pakistani Textile (1992) that Akbar criticism is done in school books as well as academy works, because he worked equally with Hindus and Muslims and worked to endanger the identity of Muslims. Akbar has been criticized for preventing the cows from killing cows in Pakistani books, ordering Ramayana, Mahabharata and Vedas to translate into Persian. Apart from this, Akbar has also condemned the Shias for permission to offer Namaz in the court.
