Detailed Solution

The minister-in-charge of religious and charitable patronage was known as Sadr. The Akbar Nama and the Ain-i-Akbari, two works about Akbar and his reign, were written by Akbar's courtier, Abul Fazl. He states that the empire was divided into subas, each headed by a subadar responsible for both military and administrative duties. A finance officer (diwan), military paymasters (bakshis), minister of religion and almsgiving (sadr), military commanders (faujdars), and kotwals were all present in each province (town police officers). In the ibadat khana at Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar began religious discussions in 1570 and summoned ulama (learned religious men), including Brahmans, Catholic priests, Zoroastrian priests, etc. After interacting with people of many religions, Akbar understood that spiritual experts who emphasise rituals and dogmas are bigots. This eventually inspired him to develop the concept of sulh-i-Kul, universal harmony and respect for all religions.
