Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb reimposed Jizya on non-Muslims in 1679. According to Mughal records, the Jizya was imposed on Hindus With the object of curbing the infidels, and of distinguishing the land of the faithful from an infidel land.

How did akbars leaderships approach differ from that of Aurangzeb?
akbar stopped the jizya tax and celebrated devali and went along the solar calendar and arabic study was discouraged while aurangzeb brought the jizya tax paid by non-muslims back and banned dancing and singing in court and himself wrote copies of the quran and quilted caps himself and earned money in that way. SO THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THAT AKBAR DISCOURAGED Islam AND AURANGZEB WAS A SUNNI DEVOUT MUSLIM.
Why was jizya returned after the battle?
Which battle? If the Muslims subjugated a group of non-Muslims, then those non-Muslims converted to Islam, it is possible that their jizya could be "refunded" (but not their kharaj taxes which remain tied to their land even after conversion). Or, if the battle ended in negotiations, an alternative settlement could be worked out in a treaty. Normally & in the Quran and primary Hadith, however, no exemptions/no returns are laid out. The non-Muslim must convert, pay, or be fought by the Muslims under Islamic law.
What is the purpose of the Jizya for Ahl al-Kitaab in Islam?
The purpose of the jizya tax for the Ahl al-Kitaab is in order to humiliate the Non-Muslims required to pay it (usually Jews and Christians). This is specifically referenced in Qur'an 9:29, which is the only verse in the Qur'an to mention the jizya. A number of Hadiths and Islamic sages have gone on further to say that the Non-Muslim should also be physically struck and/or forced to bow before the Muslim tax collector as a sign of his humiliation. Qur'an 9:29: (Sahih International): Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth [Islam] from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
Why did the people dislike the jizya tax?
Answer 1Jizya was a form of tax laid on non-Muslims residing in Muslim-controlled areas. It was synonymous to the Zakat that Muslims pay every year to the government with the difference that it was for non-Muslims and had numerous exceptions. They people disliked that Jizya because they had to pay money from their own savings to the Muslim rulers. In today's terms, it can be seen as the usual resentment to VAT or other Tax levied on all of us.Answer 2The resentment toward the jizya among the Dhimmi has nothing to do with the actual expense of the tax. That is to say that the rate was not in any way unconscionable and (considering many taxes levied in similar periods) was actually quite trivial. The hatred that the Dhimmi have toward the jizya is that it was not intended solely to gain revenue, but to single out and humiliate non-Muslims for their "failure to realize that Islam was correct". It was protection money, similar to what one might give to a mobster who runs a neighborhood so that he does not murder your family. This sense among the Dhimmi that the Muslims would only tolerate them as long as they "paid on time" made them angry. Muslim continual failure to recognize this past continues to incense the descendants of and current Dhimmi in Muslim countries today.
How are Christians and Jews viewed by Muslims?
They were labeled as dhimmi. Judaism and Christianity had to be kept low-profile, and (for example) church bells, or blowing the shofar-horn, were forbidden.They also had to pay a special tax (Jizya); and any dhimmi avoiding this payment would have his safety forfeited.
How were the religious policies of Aurangzeb different from his predecessors?
Aurangzeb was a religious bigot. He removed Hindus from the offices and destroyed many Hindu temples. He re-imposed the Jizya tax and forced to covert non-Muslims to Islam. His policy of religious intolerance was one of the main reasons for the decline of the Mughal Empire.
