Elizabeth and Akbar: the Religion of the Ruler

Kenneth Wolfe Elizabeth and Akbar The Religion of the Ruler Kenneth Wolfe states that in 1530, the people of the country would follow their rulers religion in order to conduct stay. This brought conflict among the country dividing it into states. How important was following your rulers religion? Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) and Emperor Abu-ul-Fath Jalal-ud-Din Muhammad Akbar of Muhgal India (1534-1606) answer that question. Elizabeth and Akbar, once in index number, were determined to bring peace among their country by being the foundation of their country. They used their militaries to take control.Elizabeth was natural Protestant and had several struggles throughout her lifetime her being a dump and the deatyhs of her loved ones. Elizabeth invented a Religious Settlement that made England a Protestant country. Elizabeth tried to make a church that was both a precept and had appearance of the religions. Queen Elizabeth was open to resist a ghostly civilised war unlike man y another(prenominal) other countries, and her sister. Elizabeth became fondly remembered through her ghostly settlements and skills creating loyalty towards her and is remembered by in all Englands generations.The Mughal Emperor Akbar also go through a troubled youth. His tutor taught him universal peace which is what he followed when he came into power. Akbar was a brutal warrior, but also known to be in truth spiritual. He was known to be powerful, magnetic, and inspiring. After Akbar inherited the Mughal conglomerate it expanded from all of north and central India which consisted of Muslim and Hindu people. Akbar call for a large army to contain his empire. He was known to be a skilled military leader and married Hindu princesses.He began to end taxing, and enslaving Hindus as they made their pilgrimage to the many shrines of India. And in 1564 he stopped taxing all Islamic countries. Akbars religion began to change as he began to make pilgrimages to his shrine every(preno minal) year and even built a new capital, Fatephur-Sikri. Akbar ended up having 3 sons, predicted by Shakih Salim and named to first after him. Akbar was deeply spectral by nature and experienced a ecstasy during a royal hunt. In 1582 Akbar invented the Divine Faith which made the people dedicate their life and enjoy to Akbar.Akbars leading civil and military appointees are known as mansabdars. They were loyal to the ruler and were assigned revenue. Akbar later divided his empire into 12 large provinces which were lead by a governor. This helped keep order among the Mughal Empire. Akbars religious changes and mahzar caused a revolt which he was able to control. He see the non-Muslims by universal peace. The Mughal Empire lasted long due to the occurrence that Muslims do not rule over Hindus and vice-versa (universal peace). Elizabeth and Akbar were able to retain power by respecting all their countries religions and by bring peace.I would have to agree with Kenneth Wolfe at the fact that Elizabeth and Akbar both retained power by using peace. Although, I believe Elizabeth had contained her country better thus Akbar because she did not favor any religion even though she was Protestant. Akbar, although he was Muslim, favored the Hindus. Queen Elizabeth did a better job by containing religious civil wars unlike Akbar who had a revolt. I believe over all that both Elizabeth and Akbar did a great job ruling and bringing religious peace among their country.
