Answer 1

The Empire actively supported Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims in one culture

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mughal Empire, which existed in South Asia from the 16th to the 19th century, is known for its policies of religious tolerance and accommodation. While the empire was primarily Muslim, it actively supported and protected the rights of Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims alike.

The statement suggests that the empire recognized and valued the diverse religious and cultural traditions within its domain. Rather than imposing a single religion or attempting to homogenize the population, the Mughal Empire allowed for the coexistence of different religious communities.
