Answer:
Akbar Nama and Ain-i Akbari
Abul Fazl was Akbar’s close friend and courtier. He was given the responsibility of writing the history of his reign. He wrote a three-volume history of his reign titled Akbar Nama.
Volume I: It dealt with Akbar’s ancestors.
Volume II: It recorded the events of Akbar’s reign.
Volume III: It is the Ain-i Akbari. It deals with Akbar’s administration, household, army, the revenues and the geography of his empire. It also provides rich details about the traditions and culture of the people living in India. The most interesting aspect about it is its rich statistical details about things as diverse as crops, yields, prices, wages and revenues.
Akbar's Nobles
They commanded large armies and had access to large amounts of revenue. Till they were loyal, the empire functioned very efficiently. But by the end of the 17th century many nobles had built independent networks of their own. Their self interest was responsible for weakening their loyalties to the empire.
Akbar’s approach to religion
Akbar started discussions on religion with the ulama, Brahamanas, Jesuit priests who were Roman Catholics, and Zoroastrians; when he was at Fatehpur Sikri during the 1570s. These religious discussions took place in the ibadat khana. He was interested in the religion and social customs of various people. Through these interactions he could realize that religious scholars who emphasized ritual and dogma were often bigots. Divisions and disharmony amongst people was created by their teachings. Eventually; this led Akbar to the idea of sulh-i kul or universal peace. This idea of tolerance was universal in nature i.e. it did not discriminate between people of different religions. It instead focused on a system of ethics (comprising of honesty, justice and peace) which were universally acceptable.
Akbar framed a vision of governance around the idea of sulh-i-kul; with thelp of Abul fazl. Jahangir and Shah Jahan followed this principle of governance.
