The Reign of Akbar He set out to extend his power and brought Mogul rule to most of India. He used heavy artillery. Were successful negotiators. His conquests created the greatest Indian empire since the Mauryan dynasty. Was a collection of semi-independent states held together by the power of the emperor. He did tolerate other religions. Akbar was also tolerant in his administration of the government. Overall the Akbar era was a time of progress, at least by the standards of the day. Trade and manufacturing grew. Very prosperous in foreign trade.

  13. 3. Decline of the Moguls Jahangir came after Akbar. He continued to strengthen the central government, at least in the beginning. Gradually his power slipped, especially when his wife NurJahan began to influence him. He was very good at foreign affairs but not able to handle domestic issues, like empty treasury. Eventually his son Aurangzeb took over. Very controversial ruler in India. Empire reached greatest physical size. He attempted to eliminate what he considered to be India’s social evils. He forbade suttee and put a stop to levying of illegal taxes. He tried to stop gambling and drinking as well. These policies caused Hindus to become upset.
