Akbar’s last major military campaign and victory was the Conquest of Asirgarh in 1601 AD. Asirgarh was a highly strategic and nearly impregnable fortress in the Khandesh region of the Deccan. Its conquest was crucial for securing the trade routes to the Arabian Sea. The successful capture, though allegedly achieved partly through bribery, formally brought the Khandesh Sultanate into the Mughal Empire and marked the culmination of Akbar’s extensive career of territorial expansion.
