Question

Akbar abolished the ______ tax levied on non-Muslims.

Answer 1

Akbar abolished the jizya tax levied on non-Muslims.

Explanation:

Jizya was a poll tax on non-Muslim subjects; its removal reflected Akbar’s policy of religious tolerance (sulh‑i‑kul), aimed at fostering harmony, integrating Hindus into the administration, and encouraging loyalty across faiths. He also patronised translations and appointed Hindus to high office.
