Akbar The Great vs. General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq - a podcast by World History Broadcasts

The hosts unravel the lives and legacies of two South Asian dictators; The Mughal Akbar The Great and Pakistani General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq

They discuss Akbar's mongol lineage, his sometimes brutal conquest of India, his creation of his own religion and the legacy of his Mughal Empire.

They also discuss Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq's coup that brought him to power, his Islamisation of Pakistan, his very successful referendum and the incredibly mysterious plane crash that ended his rule.

These two dictators battle it out in Round 20 of the knock-out tournament to determine the single greatest dictator of all time. One of these two dictators will be eliminated from the tournament and the other will remain in contention to be crowned history's biggest dictator.
