Din-i-Ilahi

__Akbar occupied the throne of Delhi in 1566
__He married a number of hindu and rajput women
__Din-i-Ilahi or Divine faith was promulgated by Akbar in 1582.

"Honour would be rendered to God,peace would be given to the peoples and security to the empire"

Purpose was distortion of Islam
__Din-i-Ilahi elevated Akbar and declared him God's shadow on earth.
__Promulgated the policy of Sulah-i-Kul(peace with all)
__Patronized Hindu art and literature

b)Jizya and pilgrimage tax of 6% per head were abolished,
c)Bow infront of Akbar
d)Cow slaughter was prohibited
