Answer:
Mughal rulers', Akbar and Aurangzeb, policies were motivated by religious fluidity by Akbar who created a diverse, accepting, and highly successful empire while Aurangzeb's religious rigidity was the downfall of the Mughals.
Akbar was very against having one religion in charge, eliminated the Jizya, made Persian the official language, established the Ibadat Khana and the Divine Faith in Fatehpur, combined religions
Aurangzeb returned to religious orthodoxy and reestablished the Jizya, resulted in revolts of sikhs and hindus and ultimately led to the downfall of the empire
Jalal-Ud-Din Mohammad Akbar was revolutionary in religious policies as he removed tirth yatra maisoor, and other religious taxes and gave freedom to all religion so that they can pray to their god, almighty or allah etc, he started a new religion named din-e-ilahi, it is said and written that he allowed jodha bai to build a temple in her bedroom.
Aurangzeb on the other hand was an orthodox follower of islam, never did anything so as to hurt the sentiments of islam, now arguably he attacked a lot of hindu temples but what i’ve heard and there are people with proofs and opinions that In 1687, the emperor gave some empty land on a ghat in Benares (which was, incidentally, near a mosque) to Ramjivan Gosain in order to build houses for “pious Brahmins “
