Expert Answer
Akbar followed the following policies to transform Islamic state into a secular state:
- Akbar followed the policy of Sulh-i kul. Its objective was not to discriminate between people belonging to different religions in Akbar’s kingdom. Instead, it focused on a system of ethics – honesty, justice and peace – which was universally applicable.
- Akbar realised that the Rajputs are a powerful force in India and it is difficult to rule the empire without their help and cooperation. He thus valued their friendship. In order to further strengthen their friendship, he entered into matrimonial alliances with the Rajputs.
- He was tolerant of all religions and did not beleive in discriminating amongst people on religious basis.
- He abolished repressive tax 'jaziya' levied on the Hindus.
