    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.
