Which of the following statements is correct about the religious policies of the Mughal rulers?

Statement A- All Mughal emperors gave grants to support the building and maintaining places of worship. Even when temples were destroyed during the war, grants were later issued for their repair.

Statement B- Akbar was the last ruler under whose rule jizya was collected as a tax from non-muslims.

Only Statement A is correct.

The correct answer is Option 1 - Only Statement A is correct.

Statement A- All Mughal emperors gave grants to support the building and maintaining places of worship. Even when temples were destroyed during the war, grants were later issued for their repair. (CORRECT)

Statement B- Akbar was the last ruler under whose rule jizya was collected as a tax from non-muslims. (INCORRECT)

Statement B is inaccurate. Akbar abolished the jizya tax as part of his policy of religious tolerance. The jizya tax was reimposed by Aurangzeb, long after Akbar's reign. Therefore, Akbar was not the last ruler under whose rule jizya was collected; it was actually collected under Aurangzeb's rule after being abolished by Akbar.'

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.
