Birbal to the Rescue

BIRBAL TO THE RESCUE

Tales of Birbal


A wise man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because he has to say something. Birbal is as wise as it gets.



Birbal had proved himself to be the most reliable minister at court, time and again. He dispensed justice, dealt diplomatically with other rulers, led military expeditions and composed poetry.


In addition, Birbal also rescued Akbar the emperor from the dangers of arrogance and unfettered power. Most importantly, he made the Great Mughal laugh.


This Amar Chitra Katha narrates some incidents of Birbal's quick mindedness and sense of justice. In these stories, Birbal manages to procure a pot of wisdom for the king of Ceylon, brings justice to poor widows, helps the court artist regain his confidence and reputation and displays charming lessons in tact and diplomacy.
