Question

Describe ONE way in which Akbar’s response to religious diversity compared to the practices of the Mongols during the 13th century.

Answer 1

Answer:

- 'While Genghis Khan was attempting to set up his government, Akbar got consultation from the Chinese and Islamic scholars and also initiated a policy declaring the religious tolerance across his empire in order to make the trade safer for traders as well as merchants.'

Explanation:

The above description aptly portrays how Akbar believed in accepting and giving respect to other religions as well unlike the Mongols during the 13th century. Except for this issuing of his policy of religious tolerance, while expanding his empire, he even married a Hindu girl i.e. 'Jodha' and gave her equal respect and dignity to pursue her religions without any restrictions. These things show that Akbar was believed in secularism.
