Consider this description of a person living around 1600:

I farm a small plot of land along the Indus River. Like most of my neighbors, I am Hindu, yet for the most part our Muslim rulers treat us with respect. In fact, I have talked to some people who seem both Muslim and Hindu in some ways — like me, they believe in reincarnation, yet they worship only one god. Our rulers also treat these people with respect.

Where does this person live?
A. Safavid Empire
B. Ottoman Empire
C. Byzantine Empire
D. Mughal Empire
