Prompt Use the passage below to answer all parts of the question that follows.
No ruler took more liberties with his religion than Akbar, the greatest of the Mughals, the Muslim dynasty that dominated
India between the early 16th and 18th centuries. Like Ashoka and Gandhi, Akbar constructed a religious ideology that served
to hold together a diffuse polity as it fed his own soul.
It began with pragmatic policies of tolerance. Akbar had inherited the throne, at the age of 13, in 1556. In 1579 he abolished
the jiziya, a tax imposed on all but the poorest non-Muslims. This was the most notable in a series of measures to recruit
the Hindu majority and others to the cause of unifying and expanding his empire. He could be ruthless: his troops
massacred 20,000-25,000 non-combatants after a four-month siege of Chitor, a nearly impregnable Hindu fortress in
Rajasthan. But he preferred incentives to coercion. He defeated the war-like Rajputs, but gave them rank and married their
princesses, who were permitted to conduct Hindu rites in the harem. The Mughal-Rajput alliance was a bulwark of his
empire

A) One specific political development that resulted from the conditions created by the religious policies described in the passage is how Akbar's elimination of the jizya ultimately strengthened the empire. Akbar allowed a series of measures, one of which included abolishing the jizya, to recruit the Hindu majority as well as others with the goal of unifying and expanding the empire. He gave the Rajputs ranks and married their princesses, allowing them to conduct Hindu rites. This alliance strengthened the empire greatly by allowing two major religious groups to live in harmony.

B) One specific change to Muslim-Hindu relations that resulted from the conditions created by the religious policies described in the passage was the tolerance of Hinduism in the empire. While he defeated the Rajputs and was perfectly able to use his troops to slaughter all of them, he instead gave them mercy and rank in the empire. This agreement to ally with the Rajputs helped the empire strengthen itself and allow both Muslims and Hindus to feel included and united under one kingdom.

C) One specific consequence of the policies described in the passage on religious minorities would be the oppressive jizya, which was a tax brought upon non-Muslims. The tax exempted from those who were not able to pay, such as the poor, elderly, women, children, the handicapped, the ill, the insane, monks, hermits, slaves, and foreigners who were only residing temporarily in Muslim lands, meaning that only sane, adult, male citizens paid the tax. The tax created inequality for specifically the poor non-Muslims, separating Muslims and non-Muslims as well as the rich from the poor.

answer: this is because archeologists keep finding artefacts and ancient ruins dated more than 10000 to 15000 years, date around scientists said humans discovered language; which is at least mysterious as scientists always have said that is necessary to have a language to have architecture and some basic maths.

the industrial development of cities in the ruhr area in the nineteenth century is described. the research was based on english and german language sources. several factors that shaped growth and paths of the cities were categorized and analyzed. they are locations, resources, traditions, entrepreneurs, and technological developments. locations and resources were the most important among them; other factors may be regarded as consequences from locations and resources. among the cities, bochum, essen, gelsenkirchen, and dortmund had the richest resources and most favorable locations in the transportation network and grew to be the largest cities in the ruhr area near the end of the nineteenth century. riverside location was also a favorable factor for the development, as shown in the development of duisburg on the confluence of rhine and ruhr. resource distribution can explain the rise of textile industry, metallurgical industry, and coal and iron industries, and the northward progression of the mining industry. tradition was an important factor for cities such as krefeld, barmen, elberfeld, solingen, and remscheid, which experienced development based on their traditions through the nineteenth century. various entrepreneurs exerted influences within and beyond the local level over the ruhr area. technological development stimulated the northward progression of the mining industry and the deep connection between the coal and the iron industries.
