Religious tolerance
Emperor Aurangzeb implemented more stringent Islamic policies, such as imposing the jizya tax on non-Muslims and banning extravagant Hindu practices. He also destroyed Hindu temples and prohibited the construction of new ones. These policies led to increased religious tension and conflict within the empire.
An Augur was a Roman religious official who read omens to determine policies. The French then used the word inauguration for the installment of new policies according to good omens.
Theocracy is a type of government where religious leaders or institutions hold political power. In a theocracy, religious laws and beliefs heavily influence and shape government policies and decision-making.
