In book Wren and Martin page number 230, look at examples of Direct and Indirect.
Direct. The lecturer said, 'Akbar won the respect of all races and classes by his justice." Indirect. The lecturer said that Akbar won the respect of all races and classes by his justice. here past indefinite is not changed into past perfect if it is being changed, it doesn't matter. Conform it, was there mistake of HAD? |

Yes, why Akbar won is not changed into Akbar Had won?.

What I think is that the writer is taking it as a "universal truth" and in such a case the tense doesn't change. Otherwise there could be no explanation(i guess) because the rules say to use 'had'. What do you say?

I know it isn't a universal truth balke bohat se laug to shaaid es ko simply truth bhi na maantey hon What I wanted to say was ke writer has dealt with it as an "established fact".
e.g. He said, "I was born on 1st January, 1990." He said that he was born on 1st January, 1990. OR He said that he had been born on 1st January, 1990. What do you say? Rules say option 2 is right but I think 1st one is more commendable as there must be some exceptions to this rule as well.
