Explanation: The correct answer is (c) re-assert the fundamentally Islamic character of the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aurangzeb, the sixth Mughal Emperor, re-imposed the jizya tax in the twenty-second year of his reign. The jizya was a poll tax historically levied on non-Muslim subjects in Islamic states. Aurangzeb’s decision to reintroduce the jizya was motivated by his desire to re-assert the fundamentally Islamic character of the Mughal state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aurangzeb was known for his conservative religious beliefs and his efforts to enforce stricter Islamic practices within the Mughal Empire. Re-imposing the jizya tax was seen as a symbolic measure to emphasize the distinction between Muslims and non-Muslims in the empire. It was intended to highlight the privileged status of Muslims and reinforce the Islamic identity of the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
