Answer:

Mughal rulers', Akbar and Aurangzeb, policies were motivated by religious fluidity by Akbar who created a diverse, accepting, and highly successful empire while Aurangzeb's religious rigidity was the downfall of the Mughals.

Akbar was very against having one religion in charge, eliminated the Jizya, made Persian the official language, established the Ibadat Khana and the Divine Faith in Fatehpur, combined religions

Aurangzeb returned to religious orthodoxy and reestablished the Jizya, resulted in revolts of sikhs and hindus and ultimately led to the downfall of the empire
