Jewish advisors at the Court of Akbar the Great in Agra played a significant role in Akbar's liberal religious policies.[13] In Delhi, the syncretic Jewish mystic Sarmad Khasani was tutor to the Crown Prince Dara Shikoh before both were executed by Aurangzeb.[14] There were sufficient Jews in Mughal lands for British travelers to report that synagogues had been established there, but of which no trace or Jewish record remains.[3] These handful of Jews never established a permanent community but left legends and pathways for future settlers from Arabic speaking lands.[4]
