Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • The Ottoman Empire had the millet system, allowing religious minorities (like Christians and Jews) to practice their faith and have some self - governance.
  • The Mughal Empire under Akbar was known for religious tolerance, abolishing the jizya tax and allowing religious minorities to practice their faith and have a degree of self - governance without forced conversion.
  • Option b is incorrect as the Mughal Empire's tolerance was not just limited to what Babur founded, and Akbar expanded it. Option c is incorrect as there were empires with religious tolerance. The Safavid Empire was more focused on promoting Shia Islam and was less tolerant of religious minorities compared to the Ottoman and Mughal (under Akbar) Empires, so option e is incorrect.

Answer:

a) Ottoman Empire d) Mughal Empire under Akbar
