When comparing the rule of two Mughal rulers; Akbar & Aurangzeb, we can see they are polar opposites. Akbar is clearly a good leader while Aurangzeb is clearly a bad leader. Compare either Akbar or Aurangzeb to one person/leaders/rulers whom we have learned about at any point this year. Please state why you believe they are similar.

I believe that Akbar was like Julies Ceaser. They both helped the poor. But, Julies Ceaser made the rich mad, which made the senaters kill him. While, Akbar made EVERYONE happy with his rule. Either way I believe that Julius Ceaser is like Akbar because they both made MOST people happy.

I agree with Nicole. I agree with Nicole because they did help the poor but poor for Akbar was the {no-muslims}a. Akbar helped the (poor) by making everyone pay the taxes and by doing that he was making more money than his grandfather Babar.

I agree with you but helping the poor isnt what made the seanators kill him. it was the fact he diclared himself dictator for life basicly destroying the republic Rome had created.

I think that Aurangzeb was like emperor Nero. I think there are alike for the destruction the caused to there empires. Aurangzeb destroyed Hindu temples which reminds me of the fire Nero was said to cause in Rome and how he blamed it on the Christians. There were both hated by their citizens for what they did.

I can definitely see how you relate these two. They both caused a lot of destruction. And the things they destroyed both belonged to the religion that they hated.

I agree with you Ayden because Akbar and Julius did not help the rich and but help the poor. That is one of the main reason that they both became very popular and great leaders. But not in the riches eyes.

I agree with Nicole. They both did help the poor, but I don't get why the rich hated Julius but the rich didn't hate Akbar.

I think that Akbar and Aurangzeb are similar to Genegis Khan. Genegis Khan was good and bad. He did concur 1/3 of the world but he did threaten a lot a people. There similar because Akbar is a good ruler and Aurangzeb was a bad ruler, yet Genegis khan was both bad and good in a way.

I agree with Delaney, Genghis Khan had good and bad qualities, just like Akbar and Aurangzeb. I think that is very unique that you compared both of them to the same person, but, I completely agree.

I agree with Delaney. I feel like this is a good connection because they can both connect with this one guy. Also, Genghis Khan did things to make his people happy but not other people. This relates to them not taxing the muslims, but taxing non muslims

Aurangzeb and Nero are alike in my opinion. I think this because they both did murder .Nero murdered his dad and his wife and his step brother all because he wanted to become a ruler .Aurangzeb murdered all of his brothers to become an emperor. That is why i think hey are alike.

I agree with you Jasmine. Nero and Aurangzeb they both killed and murdered family, although Nero killed for fun and Aurangzeb killed for power. Still, there both awful people and rulers.

I think that I can compare Nero and Aurangzeb. While Aurangzeb being a really bad leader, He really made a lot of people hate him. Same with Nero and the fire he started in Rome. He was an overall bad leader along with Aurangzeb. I though believe that Nero was the worst ruler of the two I am comparing.

I think that Aurangzeb and Nero are similar because, firstly Nero and Aurangzeb were both declared worst leaders of there empire. Second Nero burned parts of his empire and destroyed them, while Aurangzeb destroyed countless Hindu temples.

I Think that Akbar was the better ruler because he made every thing more equal but Aurangzeb was most likely only trying to save money but that made people see him as a terrible ruler. but that doesn't exscuse how he forced the non-muslims to pay a special tax again and destroyed thir temples and forced them to convert to Judaism

I think that Aurangzeb is a lot like Ghenghis Khan, because of how they ruled their empires. Both were very cruel and harsh when it came to ruling. They had very many punishment for many things. They both also forced people to do or believe in certain things. To conclude both were very harsh rulers and bended people to their liking basically.

I would compare Aurangzeb to Nero. I would compare these two because they were both bad emperors. Nero is believed to have burned down the city Rome and Aurangzeb charged unfair taxes on non-Muslims. He also wouldn't let non-Muslims be government officials

Aurangezeb maybe wasn't a good leader to non-Muslims, but maybe he thought he was doing something good for the non--Muslims, by maybe taking them down what he probably thought was the right path. I am comparing Aurangzeb to our soon to be leader Donald Trump. Be for Donald Trump was elected he said that he was going to kick out the Latin- Americans who were immagrants so they can't "still" jobs from the people that were already in America. In his mind he thought he was making America great again. But, too many of the immagrants it didn't sound so great. Just like how the Hindus felt when they had to pay special taxes.

I would say that Aurangzeb is like Nero because Nero destroyed many religious temples and so did Aurangzeb. Except, Aurangzeb destroyed Hindu temples and Nero destroyed christian temples. Also they were some of the worst leaders we have seen yet.

I thing Aurangzeb relates a lot to Nero. I think this because they tourtured and did bad things to the people who believed in a different religion. They did this for their own selfish reasons only wanting people to believe what they believed in. Also, they both cause a lt of destruction because of selfishness. Aurangzeb burned down and destroyed Hindu temples. He also ordered all Hindus to go away. I can relate his to when Nero cause the great fire and blamed it on the Christians. They both did things to try and get the religion they didn't believe in out of where they ruled. That is how I relate them

To me aurangzeb reminds me a lot of Donald trump. Now since he is president he starting to blame mexicans put a lot of preasure on them just like aurangzeb blamed the non-muslims on everything and but a lot of presure on them as well.

I think Akbar is like Genghis Khan. While he was not a conqueror, they both allowed free religion.
