Explanation

Akbar (r. 1556-1605) pioneered the policy of Sulh-i-Kul (peace with all), which promoted reconciliation and assimilation of Hindus into the Mughal system. This included abolishing the Jizyah tax, permitting Hindu temple construction, engaging in interfaith dialogue, and incorporating Hindus into administration and military. This policy created relative harmony and strengthened the empire.
