Akbar adopted such policies to maintain the unity of the empire, from which he could win the royalty of non-Muslims. While introducing his religious tolerance towards the Hindus, he removed the tax named ‘Jijiya’ upon him. During his reign, the people of all castes considered the same and played their relationship with their friendship very intensely.
