During the reign of which of the following Mughal rulers 'Jizya' was reimposed on non-Muslim subjects?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Aurangzeb
Akbar abolished the tax on pilgrimage in 1563 and jizya in 1564 as the two were based on religious discrimination. The jizya tax was reimposed by Aurangzeb, long after Akbar's reign
All Mughal emperors gave grants to support the building and maintenance of places of worship. Even when temples were destroyed during the war, grants were later issued for their repair – as we know from the reigns of Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb. However, during the reign of the latter, the jizya was re-imposed on non-Muslim subjects.
