Abstract :This article examines the siege of Kabul in the early days of Akbar Shah\\\'s reign in terms of military, strategic and political aspects. The article is divided into two chapters. The first chapter focuses on the narration of Kabul siege, particularly by Bayazid Bayat. The second chapter contains an analysis of the siege from the perspective of military history. Factors such as military technology, siege methods, supply and geographical conditions, cunning and deception are identified and their impact on the outcome of the siege is discussed. The siege of Kabul provides a transitional example between traditional sieges and early modern methodical siege wars.
