Why was it important for mughal leaders to tolerate non muslim religions in their territories

He was the only one who abolish the non-muslim tax on the hindus. Akbar was the most tolerant is because out of all the Mughal Leaders, he was the only one allowed hindus to part take in government activities. Even though each ruler associated with different sects of islam. the first five rulers were still somewhat accepting other religions.

Hope this helped :)
