How was the ideal of Sulh-i-kul implemented through state politics?

I. The ideal of Sulh-i-kul : Akbar’s dream of Sulh-i-kul detracted the people’s devotion towards the empire. The other people started treating the Mughals not as foreigners but as their well-wishers. This religious and cultural conglomeration brought about peace and order lines in the country which strengthened the country and led her on the path of progress. The situation of tension vanished from the people’s hearts. Being fearless all the people were deeply engrossed in their own professional activities in an atmosphere of fraternity and goodwill.

II. Efforts of Akbar for Sulh-i-kul:

(i) There will be no exaggeration if we call Akbar’s reign as a non-sectarian, secular state. It was Akbar’s heartfelt aspiration that the people of all religions should come in contact with one another and a feeling f fraternity should get inculcate in them.

(ii)    He combined the gist of all religions into Din-e-Ilahi since he heard the logic of the religions viz,. Hinduism, Islam, and Parsi religions.

(iii)    He get the Sanskrit, Arabic and Greek texts translated into Persian. For this purpose he opened a separate department for translation work. He had got the Gita, Quran, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bible and other such religious texts also translated.

(iv)    It was Akbar’s keen desire that the people should go through one another’s religious texts and get their views discussed and exchanged.

(v)    He prescribed history, logic, agriculture, literature and the like subjects in the curriculum.

(vi)    He did not give undue importance to any religion.

The above facts were an endeavour to materialise his dream of “Sulh-i-kul” the policy of peace and harmony. This strengthened cultural unity.
