WHY THEY MATTER

Faizi's intellectual uniqueness lay in his dual expertise as a poet and scholar during the late medieval period in India. His prestigious lineage as a descendant of the Malik-ush-Shu'ara of Akbar's Court, along with his role as a tutor for Akbar's sons and inclusion among the Navaratnas (nine gems) of the court, showcased his exceptional talents and contributions to the intellectual and cultural milieu of the Mughal Empire.
