Taught militia stratagem by the Rajputs. Daniyal was more Rajput in his military operations that any of his brothers and respected Hinduism a lot. Considered the best person to succeed Akbar if not for his alcohol addiction. He had seven wives out of which ,three were Rajputs.!!.
As his birth took place at Ajmir in the house of one of the attendants of the blessed shrine of the reverend Khwaja MU'inu-d-din Chishti, whose name was Shaikh Daniyal, this child was called Daniyal.
His love for alcohol destroyed him..He was posted to the Deccan in 1601..It is in Deccan that he became addicted to alcohol, was NOT an addict before.!. He was asked to return to Agra on Akbar's orders. This was to eradicate his addiction. He promised Akbar that he would not touch alcohol but in 1604 when he was returning, he saw nomads with alcohol and couldn't control himself. He asked Murshid Quli Khan, a muskeeter so poured the alcohol in to the barrel of his gun. The drank the poisoned mixture, which became so due to the mixing of rust with and gunpowder with alcohol and he died drinking it.
Akbar was " BROKEN beyond repair " at his death.
