Question

Ans
1.
Describe the Mughal policy of religious tolerance in India from Zahiruddi
Babur to Aurangzeb Alamgir.​

Answer 1

Akbar took the policy of religious toleration even further by breaking with conventional Islam. The Emperor proclaimed an entirely new state religion of 'God-ism' (Din-i-ilahi) - a jumble of Islamic, Hindu, Christian and Buddhist teaching with himself as deity. It never spread beyond his court and died when he did.

It was post 1680, the empire started to crumble. Impact of Administrative Policy: Unlike Akbar who used to pay his officials from State treasury, Aurangzeb followed Jagir system so that started zamindari system, reducing peasants to poverty, refusal of revenue by zamindars' and their clash with nobility.
