Which tax on non-Muslims did Akbar abolish?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Jizya
Akbar abolished the jizya, a tax traditionally imposed on non-Muslim subjects, as part of his policy of wider tolerance. He also promoted the idea of sulh-i-kul, or peace with all. Chauth and sardeshmukhi were Maratha exactions, while Manzurnama is not the relevant tax here. Therefore the tax named in option A is correct.
