Mughal Empire

Jahangir executed Guru Arjan the fifth Guru by reportedly roasting him alive.

he brought peace and order to the part of India he ruled by treating all his subjects fairly; he allowed Hindu's to practice their religion.he also let them hold government and military positions along with religious tolerance

Bahadur Shah II, also known as Bahadur Shah Zafar (1837-1857) was the last Mughal Emperor of India. He took part in the 1857 war of independence and was exiled to Rangoon in Burma, where he died in 1862.

Typically, Aurangzeb is accorded the title of being the "Perfect Muslim Prince" since he was very strict in his implementation of religious-oriented law. He excused all non-Muslim courtiers from his audience and expelled Christian ministers from Western countries. He forcibly converted numerous communities, especially Kashmiri Hindus, to Islam. He fought wars against the Sikhs to further expand the territory controlled by the Muslim Mughals. He destroyed a number of major Hindu Temples such as the Kashi Vishwanath temple, Kesava Deo temple and Somnath temple in order to build massive mosques on the same sites.

This is all contrary to his grandfather, Akbar the Great, who was known for permitting the free and equal practice of religion.

It is in my view unfortunate that Muslims continue to celebrate Aurangzeb over Akbar the Great, when the former was a religiously-discriminatory violent dictator who repressed minorities and the latter was an enlightened liberal dictator who protected minorities.

Yes. Jahangir was the son of Akbar the Great from his Hindu wife Jodhaa Bai or Harkha Bai.

The Mogul Empire expanded by either war or people expansion this question is unanswerable because you did not state what kind of expansion

Mumtaz Mahal was the second and favorite wife of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. She was also the niece of his step-mother Empress Nur Jahan. They had 14 children. Shah Jahan built the beautiful mausoleum of Taj Mahal in honour of Mumtaz Mahal.

The Ottoman Empire was officially a SUNNI Caliphate. Shiite Islam was vilified and often repressed, being strongly associated with the Ottomans' rival to the east, the Safavid Empire.

both empires generally practiced religious tolerance as they rose to power

Mughals were basically sunni- Muslims. They followed Islam religion and during the period of Akbar, they followed Din-I-Illahi and after his death Jahangir readopted Islam as the official religion of Mughals.

The last of powerfull mughal emperors, Aurangzeb Alamgir has build the badshahi mosque.

Soon after the completion of the Taj Mahal India in 1648, Shah Jahan became seriously ill. As he lay dying he witnessed the fierce hostility among his four sons in their struggle to succeed him. His four children had grown up in an atmosphere of bitter rivalry even though they were all the sons his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The expectation of their father's death provoked them into a savage contest for power

Aurangzeb had an acute sense of political realism and a fierce appetite for power. He was the superior in both military talent and administrative skills and easily outclassed his brothers in the bid for power. After a bitter struggle he was crowned emperor in 1659. His father had not died as everyone had expected but sick and ailing, Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son, the new emperor in the Agra fort.

There he remained, confined for eight years, under house arrest, until his death. From the balcony of Muasamman Burj tower he could look down on the beautiful monument he had created for his beloved wife, the Taj Mahal India.

The Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, was built by the sixth Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb between 1673- 74. It is the eighth largest mosque in the world. The Mosque was completed under the superintendence of Fidai Khan Koka, Aurangzeb's foster brother. Made up of red sand-stone, this Mosque is situated opposite to the Alamgiri gate of Lahore Fort. The prayer room can accommodate upto 100,000 worshipers.

Shah Jahan, the Mughal ruler, was an orthodox Muslim, to an extent even more than his father and grandfather.

Akbar was a successful ruler as most of the subcontinents population was Hindu, he changed Islamic religion policies and was more influenced by Hinduism and even married many Hindu women.

A+ all of the answers are correct

History says that Akbar pursued the policy of religious tolerance. He not only abolished jaziya..(a form of tax which non Muslims had to pay.. while Muslims payed zakat..) but also had non Muslim wives's was so obsessed with religions that he founded a new religion called Deen-e-Ilahi and declared himself as a prophet of the new religion, Deen-E-Ilahi was accepted by only a few people of his court and was not success.

Akbar was a very tolerant ruler. He married 2 Hindus, 1 Christian, and 1 Muslim. He had a Spanish Jesuit tutor his son, and he even abolished a tax on non-Muslims. He created a bureaucracy in which Hindus and Muslims could serve, and granted Hindus and Muslims land grants in exchange for loyalty.

He showed his religious tolerance by becoming a vegetarian so as not to offend the Hindus and building Hindu temples. In 1575, he built a 'house of worship' where scholars of all religions could meet for discussion.

Mughal leaders began to surrender control of their economy to European powers.
