Use the passage below to answer all parts of the question that follows. No ruler took more liberties with his religion than Akbar, the greatest of the Mughals, the Muslim dynasty that
dominated India between the early 16th and 18th centuries. Like Ashoka and Gandhi, Akbar constructed a religious
ideology that served to hold together a diffuse polity as it fed his own soul.
It began with pragmatic policies of tolerance. Akbar had inherited the throne, at the age of 13, in 1556. In 1579 he
abolished the jiziya, a tax imposed on all but the poorest non-Muslims. This was the most notable in a series of
measures to recruit the Hindu majority and others to the cause of unifying and expanding his empire. He could be
ruthless: his troops massacred 20,000-25,000 non-combatants after a four-month siege of Chitor, a nearly impregnable
Hindu fortress in Rajasthan. But he preferred incentives to coercion. He defeated the war-like Rajputs, but gave them
rank and married their princesses, who were permitted to conduct Hindu rites in the harem. The Mughal-Rajput alliance
was a bulwark of his empire.
