Question

Give three ways to show secular spirit of Akbar. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Akbar’s assimilation of Hindu chiefs in the Empire’s army, courts and civil administration. Under his rule, the empire gradually expanded from Kandahar to Bengal and bordered the Deccan. This remarkable assimilation of territories was not forced by faith but happened with the willing help of Hindu princes, Rajput warlords and commanders. This also ensured that the religious sentiments of the captured territories were never interfered with or disrupted.

Akbar’s equal treatment of officials and establishment of a just system of governance lay the foundation of commerce and revenue generation, the backbone of any empire (or a modern-day nation state). Akbar’s civil services openly invited and employed Hindus in all levels of civic administration and tax-collection. Akbar knew Hindus to be better ‘men of business’ than the uneducated and mercenary adventurers who formed a large proportion of the Mohammedan armies.

Akbar’s land-tax reforms were a masterpiece of economic-planning by a Khatri Rajput Hindu administrator Raja Todar Mal. Akbar’s recognition of the talent and appointment of people to the highest posts on a meritocratic basis rather than religious favor were testament to his skills as an administrator. An example of the farsightedness of Todar Mal and Akbar, Todar Mal’s revenue system enforced that all records (the baheekhatas) should be maintained in Persian (rather than being written in Devnagari). This forced his fellow Hindus working in one of the largest state employer (the tax department) to learn the court language of their rulers. This one step greatly increased the influence and participation of Hindus in the governance of the empire, erasing a formidable gap between the ruler and the ruled. Think about it, how Indians have benefitted by adopting the language of the rulers (be it Persian or English).
