Akbar took number of measures to promote greater understanding between the Hindus and Muslims. Though these measures he created an atmosphere in which liberal views could grow and finally cultural and emotional integration of the people could develop. Some of these measures were the following :
♦ Akbar abolished poll tax or jizyah which the non-muslims were required to pay . He also abolished the pilgrim tax on bathing at holy places such as Prayag and Benaras .
♦To strengthen the liberal principles , Akbar enrolled a number of Hindus into the nobility . While most of these were Rajput Rajas , many of whom entered into matrimonial alliances with Akbar.
♦ Akbar setup a big translation department for translating works in Sanskrit , Arabic and Greek into Persian . Thus, the Singhasan battisi , the Atharva Veda and the Bible were taken up for translation .
♦ Akbar issued a 'Declaration' or mahzar , which made Akbar the supreme or final arbiter in religious matters and replaced the power of ulema.
