उत्तर
Akbar took the following steps to transform the Islamic state into a secular one and unite the diverse races in the country into a single nation based on equality:
- He abolished the Jizya tax, which was imposed by earlier Muslim rulers on all non-Muslim subjects and the pilgrim tax imposed on Hindus visiting places of pilgrimage.
- He allowed Hindus to build temples, celebrate festivals, and worship freely. He even allowed his Hindu wives to celebrate festivals like Holi and Diwali.
- He gave high posts to talented and competent Hindus in his court; examples are Todar Mai, Birbal, and Raja Bhagwan Das.
- He married Rajput princesses and allowed them freedom of worship.
- He granted land to all individuals irrespective of their religious faith.
