Answer:

Babur’s respect for other beliefs inspired Akbar to promote religious tolerance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mughal ruling class was Muslim, but many of the individuals of the empire were actually Hindu and Sikh. When Babur first founded the empire, he did not emphasize his religion nor seemed to care much about it, since he seemed more interested in his Mongol heritage. When Akbar came to power, the court abolished the non-Muslims and abandoned the use of the lunar Muslim calendar to use the solar calendar instead. This means that Babur’s respect for other beliefs inspired Akbar to promote religious tolerance.

Hope this helped!
