Answer 1

It is emperor Akbar.

Answer 2

Aurangzeb was the one and only Mughal King who was successful to ban the deadly custom of Satidaho.

To make it strict, he passed a rule where it was included that whoever might be seen ignoring it should be harshly penalized.

Hindus didn’t like this rule at that time and they questioned it.

Many who ignored it were executed by the Sultan.
