      non-Muslims?
      A 1658 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1675 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1679 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1681 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb reinstated the jizya tax on non-Muslims in the year 1679, a tax that had been abolished by Emperor Akbar in 1564. This move sparked resistance from Hindu Rajputs, and even led to a brief rebellion supported by Aurangzeb’s son, Akbar, around 1680–1681.
