When  Humayun  died, Akbar  was  in  punjab, Humayun's  death  was  kept  secret for 17 day's, until Akbar  could  reach  Delhi . During  this  time  a  courtier, Dreessed  royal robes, aooeared at  the  window [jharokha] to  show  himself  to people . why  was  it  important  to  keep  the  new's  of  Humayun's  death  a  secret  till  akbar  could  reach  Delhi ?

Humayun's death was kept secret because if the secret was let out, the enemies, European traders, Portuguese traders, etc would invade Delhi and conquer it. It would be a great loss for Humayun and Akbar.

Because ,after knowing that Humayun has died and their is no king of Mughals until Akbar reaches Delhi, the other kingdoms can attack. ......... I am not totally sure. ..... Sorry if it is wrong.
