Ancient and Medieval History (Easy) Mughal Period

Akbar’s enlightened religious policy was based on his philosophy of sulh-I-kul which meant:

universal tolerance

universal peace

enlightened benevolence

unity of god-head

- Akbar’s religious policy was inspired by sulh-i-kul, a Persian term that literally means "peace with all."

- Option 1: universal tolerance

- This stands for acceptance and respect for all religions.

- Sulh-i-kul supported tolerance, but the idea is broader than just tolerance.

- Option 2: universal peace

- This highlights the goal of overall harmony and non-violence among all people, regardless of their faith.

- Sulh-i-kul is often translated as "universal peace," focusing on peaceful coexistence.

- Correct Answer

- Option 3: enlightened benevolence

- Means ruling with kindness and wisdom.

- While Akbar was benevolent, sulh-i-kul itself specifically refers to peace between religions, not just kindness.

- Option 4: unity of god-head

- Means belief in a single divine power, which is not the direct meaning of sulh-i-kul.

- This relates more to religious philosophy than Akbar’s policy.
