For far too long, the religious policy pursued by the Mughals in India has been debated and discussed.

Therefore, we decided to strike at the root of the entire affair — to unravel and decipher what exactly was the religious policy pursued by the Mughals, what shaped it, and how it impacted the subcontinent at large.
