Answer 1

"The Empire actively supported Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims in one culture."

Reason: Mughal rulers (especially Akbar) promoted policies of inclusion—inviting leaders of different faiths to debate, removing discriminatory taxes, and appointing non-Muslims to high office—supporting coexistence of multiple religions rather than forcing conversion or conflict.
