Answer:
Your question is not complete which makes it difficult to answer but I'll help in the way I can.
Rule of law is a statue which simply means that nobody is above the law.
When defined, it means that rule of law is the absolute supremacy or predominance of the law over the ruler and the ruled.
Therefore, according to the rule of law, a government leader is answerable to the Constitution and law and has limited powers.
Well I can't see the possible sentences, but muslims were a minority in India at the time and the population was predominantly Hindu. Forcing the majority of the population to change their religion forcibly (and through that many of their core values, beliefs, traditions and practices) was a quick way to create political unrest which could lead to a revolution. They we're already a minority ruling a large and powerful nation, so they were already dealing with a lot of resistance from the population as it was. Maybe they wanted to practice tolerance for moral reasons, but more likely they just didn't want to push their luck when they were already struggling to remain popular.
