Muslim rulers have had a knack for maintaining Harems (Concubines) consisting of 100s of women, ranging from princess to slaves and women taken as booty in wars.

Write whatever you feel like in the exam, as long as you have data to corroborate your stance. Some of the Mughals were a bunch of debauched individuals and there is nothing wrong in admitting that.

And never walk the middle path as many will suggest you. Neutrality is good, but partiality is fatal. Mughals had issues, we all know that. Had Jalal-ud-din Akbar dared to invent "Deen-E-Elahi" in this era, he would be long dead in some suicide attack, thanks to TTP fellows, such were his mischiefs.

It is imperative that you build a very strong and critical opinion about every issue, whether in the favour or against the issue, based on sound examples, facts and figures and quotes etc. It does not matter how big you talk or what claims you make, what matters is how you justify your claims. Only that is going to bring you marks
