Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Mughal Emperor Akbar introduced the policy of Sulh-i-kul, which literally translates to 'universal peace' or 'peace to all'. Influenced by Sufism, Akbar transitioned from an orthodox Muslim to a ruler who adopted an accommodative approach toward India's diverse religious landscape. He established the Ibadat Khana in 1575 to facilitate spiritual discussions among different faiths, eventually formulating Sulh-i-kul as a principle of amity and universal tolerance. This policy became a cornerstone of Mughal administration, positioning the Emperor as a source of stability who stood above all religious and ethnic groups to ensure justice. While his chronicler Abul Fazl described it as a unifying force for the empire, the policy aimed to merge various traditions into a harmonious framework, promoting inclusivity and social unity.
