With the mistakes and failures of the Ottoman Empire, such individuals applied different strategies in the governance while in the Mughal Empire. Since Islam was the dominant religion in the Ottoman Empire, young boys were converted to Islam to train for war, while in the Mughal Empire they created their faith as a leisure pursuit, so everyone training for war exercised their freedom to worship wherever they preferred (pg 499-501). The Ottoman Empire soldiers soon gave in to their rivals causing their defeat. On the other hand, since the soldiers in The Mughal Empire had the freedom to choose their religion, they felt respected and fought to victory at all encounters with their enemies. Inner dissatisfaction in the Mughal Empire that led to its crumbling was because of poor administrative techniques; whereas, in the Ottoman Empire it was because of domination by contenders in the most highly populated areas and taking over power (pg
Babur claimed that he was the descendant of Timur, the famous Central Asian conqueror, and Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire. This claim helped Babur to gain the support of the Mongol and Turkic tribes in India, who believed that he was the chosen one to rule over them. Babur also used religion to legitimize his rule, by emphasizing his role as a Muslim ruler and protector of the Islamic faith. The Mughal Empire continued to use these claims of legitimacy throughout its history, with each new ruler emphasizing their religious and genealogical ties to the founding family. The Mughals used their claim to be descendants of Genghis Khan and Timur to justify their rule over the Indian subcontinent and to gain the support of the local population.
Akbar: Akbar was one of Mughal India’s famous emperors who ruled from 1556 to 1605. Although he was Muslim, Akbar recognized that the majority of the population practiced Hinduism. Therefore, Akbar accommodated to the Hindu majority by incorporating Hindus into political-military elite and by supporting the building of different Hindu architects. Eventually, Akbar even created a House of Worship where representatives of different religions could come together over intellectual discussions. Most Muslims did not agree with Akbar’s policies, however, they were quickly changed when Akbar passed and Aurangzeb took
In the trial of Genghis Khan, the two witnesses that presented the best evidence on the other side was the Chinese soldier and historian Mustasim. The Chinese soldier stated specific details of what gruesome things Genghis Khan committed. Some of the things he mentioned was how Genghis Khan raped many women and poured led into people's eyes and ears. Also, he mentioned Genghis Khan used his large armies to suffocate towns. If the town did not surrender the city it would be destroyed and the citizens would be killed-including children.
The Marāthās, in particular, became so enraged that they eventually gained their independence from the Mughals and established their own empire,” (Gale). The departure of the Marāthās proves the lack of religious tolerance the Mughals had at times. The Marāthās were so enraged at the lack of acceptance that they left the empire rendering it smaller and weaker. This is just one example of the Mughals not only only neglecting to practice religious tolerance, but how refusing to accept all people for their beliefs backfired in the empire’s overall growth and unity.
For example, Akbar the Great of the Mughal dynasty conducted interviews with scholars of Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian backgrounds to learn about each religion’s foundation, reasoning, and secrets (doc 2). As a result, Akbar who believed that discovering the truth is the main goal of humanity couldn 't be determined without the acknowledgement of other religions, including the native people in India and without the initiative to want to learn about them. Akbar’s respect of other religions caused the religions to further develop in the empire. Allowing these religions to develop caused for new ideas to grow and leaders used them to improve their rule. In addition, Suleiman the Magnificent, a leader of the Ottoman Empire, gave individuals government positions based on their character and abilities to complete their tasks and not their wealth or their parentage (doc 3).
Caleb Stokes Ms. Katz History 9 4/20/24 How religious tolerance affects legitimacy.

One could argue that Shahrazad from The Thousand and One Nights should be considered a hero for many reasons. From the surface, Shahrazad is noble and wealthy because of her father’s position as advisor to the king, she is identifiable and human, she is selfless by working for the greater good of the community, and she is brave for sacrificing herself to try and end the King’s reign of terror. King Shahrayar would sleep with a new woman each night and order her to be killed the following day. This system was slowly depleting the town of young, available women. Shahrazad wanted to end this horrid cycle, so she devised a plan to tell the King a story every night, and she would leave the story off on a cliff hanger.
Rahim’s last words, provided in a letter, tries to justify the secrets that are kept from Amir, in hopes of preserving the image of Baba in Amir’s eyes, both of whom are important friends of Rahim. His letter, which explains why they keep “Amir in the dark” illustrates the pain Baba faces as a “man torn between two halves”, a parent who “[loves Amir and Hassan] both, but [cannot] love Hassan the way he [longs] to” (Saraswat 8) (Hosseini 316). Through his final remarks, Rahim is further emphasized as the moral center of the
Over the following 150 years they extended their empire around India,while remaining dependant on the local rulers who remained in power by paying taxes to the Mughal emperor.

He also ended the tax non-Muslims were made to pay. In Indian society men controlled political and economic power.
Thesis: The Mongol leader Genghis Khan had an intense influence on the modern world. He may have been one of the greatest military leaders of all time, and he was both the father of the organization of modern warfare and a role model for many rulers. Early life and Origin Like most ruthless emperors “ you can blame it all on a bad childhood.” he was “born in Temujn, Genghis had the bad luck to be born to the most outcast tribe in the most remote part of the Mongolian Steppes right on the border with Siberia.” (“Genghis Khan”)

Time is an illusion of the mind. It exists only in our minds. Change creates this illusion of time. Bases on this fact, we can presume that aging is also a concept of the mind. Deepak Chopra, an Indian-American physician, public speaker, and author, devised an online program, 'Timeless You' that aims to eliminate the poor models of aging and create awareness for the connection between the mind and aging.
But, tension and clashes do not mean antagonism. The British indeed took advantage of the fissures that were already present in the Indian society and attempted to create antagonism. During the British colonial rule, religion was never the only reason for the communal issues in India or the tensions between Hindus and Muslims, but also, favouritism and communal elections and economic status, which were in a way or another aggravated by the British. We can say that there is indeed some truth in what Sir S.A Khan said. Hindus and Muslims could not sit on the same throne at that time but they would the least want the British to sit on the throne and rule over
