Q. Who among the following Mughal Emperors abolished ‘Jizyah’?
Answer:
Both 1 and 2
Notes: Akbar is widely known for abolishing Jizyah, a poll tax on non-Muslims. He did so in order to widen the social base of Mughal Empire. But, Aurangzeb had resurrected ‘Jizyah’ in order to please the Ulemma class. Although, Bahadur Shah I, the immediate successor of Aurangzeb reversed many of his policies, ‘Jizyah’ itself was removed under the reign of Farrukh Siyar. So, both option a and b are correct.
