Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Akbar married several Rajput princesses following his policy toward the Rajputs. As he worked to forge closer ties with foreign kings, Akbar envisioned a vast empire. After capturing the Rajput kingdom's regions of Ajmer, Gwalior, and Malwa, he established close ties with the Rajputs. Akbar had to gradually acclimate to them to win their allegiance and establish a powerful empire.

They included two of his military generals, Man Singh and Bhagwan Dass, who heroically battled alongside Akbar.
