Akbar made many reforms to the empire because of which he was called Akbar the Great.
Some of the reforms were:
- He expanded the Mughal Empire to almost twice its size
- He was tolerant to other religions
- He made many administrative reforms which were even used by the British
- He was a very fair ruler
Akbar was the greatest Mughal emperor because rather than ruining India he did many things for its welfare. He opposed the discrimination between Hindus and Muslims, abolished the tax on Hindu pilgrims. So he was called great.
