Who amongst following Mughal rulers reimposed "Jaziya"?

Who amongst following Mughal rulers reimposed "Jaziya"? Correct Answer Aurangzeb

Jizya tax was imposed on Hindus.

Important Points

 Historically, the jizya tax has been understood in Islam as a fee for protection provided by the Muslim ruler to non-Muslims, for the exemption from military service for non-Muslims, for the permission to practice a non-Muslim faith with some communal autonomy in a Muslim state, and as material proof of the non-Muslims’ submission to the Muslim state and its laws.

  • In 1579, the third Mughal emperor Akbar abolished the jizya.
  • In 1679,  Aurangzeb decided to re-impose jizya on non-Muslim subjects in lieu of military service, a decision that was widely criticized by many Hindu rulers and Mughal court officials.

Thus, it is clear that Aurangzeb reimposed "Jaziya".
