Detailed explanation-1: -During the period of Akbar there was no country called India, it was called Mughal Sultanate. There was no official language, Persian was used in the Court of Akbar for all the administrative purposes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Their policies triggered a “Persianisation” process in which many Indian groups began to use the language for social reasons. The Mughal Empire proclaimed Persian the official language under Akbar, a decision that would last until the empire’s downfall.
Detailed explanation-3: -Akbar also desired that the sources of the new court history recording Mughal achievements be compiled in Persian. Persian thus emerged as the language of the king, the royal house-hold and the high Mughal elite.
