5. Akbar respected all religions. Give examples to justify this statement.
Answers
Answer:
Akbar came to the conclusion that all religions were equally valid.
He adopted a policy of complete tolerance for people of other faiths. His policy was founded on the universal peace philosophy.
Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Jains, and others were allowed to build structures for worship, peacefully propagate their faith, and celebrate religious fairs and festivals; according to Mughal chronicles, the Mughal empire was made up of many different ethnic and religious communities, including Hindus, Jainas, Zoroastrians, and Muslims.
Explanation:
The emperor stood above all religious and ethnic groupings, mediated among them, and secured justice and peace for everyone as he gained knowledge about all religions and sects.
Akbar endorsed the Sulh-i-Kul ideal, which said that all religions and schools of thought were allowed to express themselves as long as they did not undermine the state's authority.
