Question

what did new religion of Akbar aim to achieve?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Din-i-ilahi, also known as Tawhid-i-ilahi at the time, was a syncretic religion founded in 1582 by Mughal emperor Akbar. Its goal was to bring together some of the components of all of the religions that existed in his empire, so reconciling the divides that divided his people.

Explanation:

• In the ibadat khana at Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar began religious discussions in 1570, inviting ulama (learned religious men) such as Brahmans, Catholic priests, Zoroastrians, and others.
• Akbar's interactions with people of many religions taught him that religious experts who place a strong focus on rituals and dogmas are bigots.
• As a result, he came up with the concept of sulh-i-kul, or world peace and tolerance for all religions.
