Detailed explanation-1: -Akbar was also influenced by scholars across religions. So, he wanted to work out a synthesis of all religions. His treatment of the Hindus was very tolerant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Akbar demonstrated religious tolerance by reframing to impose his religion upon those living in his empire. Akbar was open to all religions and believed people should be able to worship freely. He even sponsored religious debates between those of different faiths.
