Which of the following Mughal rulers set up a new religion called Din-i-Ilahi?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Akbar
The Mughal emperor Akbar started the Din-i-Ilahi (“faith of God”) in 1582. It drew ideas from several religions and grew out of his policy of sulh-i-kul (peace with all). Only a few courtiers, such as Birbal, joined it, and it faded away after Akbar's death.
