“Howdy, neighborino, how come your garden looks so much better than mine”ĭhoorth pondered for a moment. He straight up asked Dhoorth about it one day. He was wondering why his neighbor’s yard was so full of crops. Now Padosi had been trying to grow crops in his yard. Which literally means sly.Īnd Padosi lived next door to Dhoorth, as you might expect from the translation of his name, which literally means neighbor. Let’s call them Dhoort and Padosi.ĭhoorth was a sly person, just like the meaning of his name. The first story is about a quarrel between neighbors. We’ll see him solve two such problems today. There was really no problem that Birbal could not solve, and no question that he could not answer in a clever way. He was the Jeeves to Akbar’s Bertie Wooster or Sherlock Holmes to Watson. He was a Mughal Emperor and ruled over most of India, over 500 years ago.īirbal was a minister in his court and the smartest of them all. All you need to know is that Akbar was a real historical person. If you haven’t heard of the previous Akbar and Birbal stories, that’s totally fine. These stories are all set in medieval India, most of which was ruled by Emperor Akbar. We’ve covered several Akbar Birbal stories before. In this episode, we’re going to do a story about Akbar and Birbal.
