उत्तर
Akbar understood that the Rajputs were brave, influential rulers and that their support was essential for a strong, stable empire.
Important features of his Rajput policy:
- He treated Rajputs with honour and equality and entered into matrimonial alliances with Rajput princesses.
- He appointed many Rajputs to high posts in the army and administration.
- He abolished the jizya and pilgrim tax on Hindus and followed a policy of religious tolerance.
- He did not annex the states of loyal Rajput rulers; he only demanded loyalty and tribute.
To win over the powerful Rajput chiefs, secure the north-western frontiers, and build a broad, stable base for the Mughal Empire.
Results: The Rajputs became Akbar’s loyal supporters and key military officers, which greatly strengthened and stabilised the Mughal Empire.
