Audrey TruschkeAlright folks, let’s try again with some specificity — Float me your questions about Mughal history and let’s see what we can do...
Nandha@audreytruschke Any specific reasons as to why Din-i-elahi didn't take off much?
@ionhandshaker Q: Why didn't the din-i ilahi take off much.
A: Because it was not intended to be a large-scale phenomenon. The din-i ilahi was not a new religion, despite its reputation as such in the popular sphere; note that historians are basically in agreement on this point. Akbar's din-i ilahi was an imperial discipleship program designed for an small cadre of Mughal elites.
