Question

State whether true or false.

Aurangzeb reintroduced jaziya, the tax on non-Muslims.

Answer 1

This statement is true.

Explanation:

Aurangzeb reintroduced jaziya. Aurangzeb reinstated the jaziya tax on non-Muslims (1679) after Akbar had abolished it. This reflected his more orthodox religious policy and helped raise revenue for prolonged campaigns, especially in the Deccan, worsening relations with many non‑Muslim subjects.
