Mughals

Akbar was a Muslim leader in the nation of what is now India. He was able to successfully unify the native tribes that inherited the nearby native tribes. He was able to accomplish this task by intermarrying with all the major political and influential leaders in India. He had over 400 wives and by doing this, he was able to gain trust with these leaders by marrying their oldest and wisest daughter. Once he was able to unify India, he removed the Jazya tax, which taxed non-muslim believers. Do to the fact that 80% of India was Muslim, he did not want to tax all of his citizens. Imposing this tax, he was able to appeal to all Hindus across the world to his nation. This was one of the first unification of Hindus and what Akbar created will later become the Hindu capital in 5 years.
