Answer:
Explanation:
Abu-Ul-Fath Jalal-Ud-Din-Muhammad Akbar was the grandson of Babur and the son of Humayun, who was driven from his reign and capital Delhi by Sher Sha Sur, an invader from Afghanistan. Humayun could return to Delhi in 1555, ten years after Sher Sha Sur's death, assisted by troops from the shah of Iran. Akbar was 13 years old at the time; his father made him governor of Punjab.
Humayun died a year later, and his governors divided much of the country up between themselves. Hemi, a Hindu minister, claimed Delhi but was defeated by a Mughal army. Akbar's chief minister Bayram Khan consolidated Akbar's reign; but Akbar was a head-strong youth and in 1560, when Akbar turned 18, he sent Bayram Khan on a pilgrimage to Mecca; Bayram Khan was killed while travelling through Afghanistan.
Throughout his reign Akbar expanded the Mughal empire, using a combination of diplomacy, marriage alliances and military conquest. He allowed the Hindu Rajput rulers of Rajasthan to hold their territories if they accepted him as emperor, paid regular tribute, supplied troops when needed and agreed to marriage alliances. Where they resisted he did not refrain from massacres. In 1562 Akbar accepted the offer of marriage with a Rajput princess. Rajput nobles began to enter Mughal government service and advanced to highest positions as generals and governors.
Between 1573 and 1576 Akbar added Gujarat and Bengal to his empire.
But Akbar's major achievements were his administrative reforms, which laid the foundation for 150 years of a multi-religious empire under Mughal rule. Always more interested in physical performance than formal education he remained illiterate throughout his life but took an active interest in all matters of intellect. His son Jahangir wrote of him that he was
"always associated with the learned of every creed and religion, ... and so much became clear to him through constant intercourse with the learned and the wise ... that no one knew him to be illiterate, and he was so well acquainted with the niceties of verse and prose composition that this deficiency was not thought of."
Akbar established separation of state and religion and opened government positions to members of all religions. He abolished the poll tax (jizya) on non-Muslims and the forced conversion of prisoners of war to Islam. He converted the meetings of Muslim clerics into open discussions between Islam, Hindu, Parsi and Christian scholars and in 1579 issued an edict that made him the highest authority in religious matters.
