If I remember right, Akbar was fidaa on daughter of Gulbadan Begum who was married to Bairam Khan, and son of these two was famous Abdul Rheem Khan-e-Khana, who wrote Dohas in Braj, one of the basic hindi text in schoolbooks today:)
In india too, NH2, running from Delhi to Kolkata is very good, especially the stretch between Farrukhabad to Kanpur which runs parallel to railway line in UP:)
