Q24 (UPPCS/2023) History & Culture › Medieval India

Which among the following ruler of Kashmir abolished Zaziya and Cow Slaughter?

Explanation

Zain-ul-Abidin (1420–1470), popularly known as "Bud Shah" (The Great King), was the eighth sultan of Kashmir. He is renowned for his policies of religious tolerance and secularism, which earned him the title "Akbar of Kashmir." Unlike his predecessor Sikandar Butshikan, who was known for religious persecution, Zain-ul-Abidin abolished Jizya (the discriminatory tax on non-Muslims) and prohibited cow slaughter to respect the sentiments of his Hindu subjects. He also invited back Hindus who had fled the valley, restored their lands, and allowed the reconstruction of temples. His reign is considered a golden age for Kashmiri culture, literature, and communal harmony.
