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 can compare Aurangzeb and Nero because they were both bad emperors . Aurangzeb made the Muslims pay a special tax , and Nero persicuted the Christians . I think that Nero is worse than Aurangzeb because he was rude all around but Aurangzeb did do some good things.

I think Aurangzeb is like Nero. I think this because he prosecuted people for there religion. Nero burned a forest and killed many Christians while Aurangzeb destroyed Hindu temples.

Nero burned down the city of Rome, not a forest. I do agree that they were both mostly if not all bad rulers.

I agree with you because they both destroyed buildings and temples. They also did not let others believe other religions as well.

I am going to compare Aurangzeb with Nero. Nero is like Aurangzeb in many ways. Aurangzeb made the non Muslims pay an extra tax. Nero killed all the Christians and blamed them for burning down a part of Rome. They also were both disliked.

I agree with you Logan. They both were greatly disliked, mostly because of their treatment to races. Also, Nero and Aurangzeb ruined memories of the other rulers.

So your saying they both disrespected other religions. Unlike Constantine of Rome and Ackbar of India who excepted other Religions.

I would compare Akbar to Julius Ceaser. The reason is because they both got the people of the area they ruled (Rome and India)to be friendly and not rebel. Also, they both were remembered greatly after death. The roman people even executed the killers of Julius.

Ackbar and Julius Ceaser are very similar leaders I a good way. Julius Ceaser gave rights to plebians and defeated one of Rome's biggest enemies, Gaul. Ackbar unified India. Even though Ackbar was Islamic he won loyalty of non-muslims in India by making them pay an equal tax as Muslims.

I agree with you Tyler. Both rulers did quite a few good things. They both won loyalty of their people. They each helped the underdogs of their empire in good ways.

Aurangzeb and Nero are alike because Aurangzeb destroyed a lot of Hindu temples and forced the non-Muslims switch to Islam. He also made the non-Muslims pay a special tax. Nero had the Christians persecuted and blamed them for a fire that burned down half of Rome.

Aurangzeb and Nero are very much alike because he forced non-Muslims pay a special tax for the religion they believed in, and Nero started a persecution on the cristians for a fire that he caused. I always wonder why battle and crime starts because of someone's religion. Why did Nero pick the Christians to blame for the fire? And why did Aurangzeb make them pay a special tax? Simply for their religion.

I totally agree with you Arianna C. I believed that Akbar was like Augustus but what you said is pretty much the opposite so yes I agree.

I think Akbar is pretty similar to the Roman ruler Julius Caesar in a couple aspects. To start off, they both ruled a pretty massive empire, and pretty well at that. Secondly, both rulers were first-class war Generals. Finally, both leaders altered the government. Akbar worked to make the government stronger. Caesar put himself as the person with total control, and left behind the republic form of government.

I think Akbar is like Augustus. I believe Akbar is like him because he respected other religions. Like how he was Muslim and tried to gain respect from Buddhists also. But my point is they made a change like Augustus making one government into a Empire making it a bit stronger in different ways. This is why I the Akbar is like Augustus.

I would compare Akbar with Wu Hou because she was the first female ruler. Also she created new things for here people such as civil service exams Akbar also did great things for is people as well. Wu Hou also mad government officials write poetry to test their smarts. That is why I think Akbar and Wu Hou are alike.
