William Finch, an English merchant who visited India during Emperor Jahangir’s reign, recorded one of the earliest mentions of the Anarkali legend in his travel notes. He described Anarkali as a courtesan who was allegedly buried alive by Emperor Akbar due to her illicit love affair with Prince Salim (later Emperor Jahangir). This story of tragic love became part of the cultural lore, though it lacks solid historical evidence. Finch's account dates back to the early 17th century, around 1608-1611, during his travels in Lahore
