Answer 2

Answer:

Akbar has been called the 'first national king' mainly because he was highly tolerant and secular in his outlook.

• After Babur and Humayun, Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar, also referred to as Akbar the Great, ruled the Mughal Empire as its third emperor. At the age of 13, he succeeded his father Nasiruddin Humayun as emperor in the year 1556.
• He instituted a centralised administration system and pursued a diplomatic and alliance-focused marriage policy.
• He gained the allegiance of his non-Muslim citizens as well with his religious policies. Although Akber was a devout Muslim, he never tried to impose his beliefs on anyone, including Hindu spouses, commoners living in his kingdom, or prisoners of war.
• In his reign, he promoted the construction of temples and even churches. In order to bring his people's religions closer together, he formed the Din-i-Ilahi sect.

He is the first national king becuase he was very secular. his religion, Din-i-Ilahi was an ethical code that prescribed the ideal way of living while excluding traits like desire, slander, and pride. It made extensive use of current religions' finest doctrines to construct a combination of moral principles to live by.
