Another very Important point that needs to be known is that If a non-muslim served in the mughal army, his family was exempted from paying taxes and the similer to non-muslims muslims had to pay much higher level of tax in the form of Zakat!
Jadunath sarkar also states in his book that it is often talked about his imposition of Jizya but he is never given credit for the abolishment of 65 other kinds of taxes that before the mughal rule Hindu Kings used to extract from their subjects. It is a well known fact of history that the local population felt much relieved after abolishment of such taxes and redily paid it according to their ability baring few nobility who had lost their power and prestige they had prior to the mughal rule in India.
It is well established that the Islamic laws were later codified into English & French law which is the source for our own law. It has been challenged that if a study of English and Islamic law is undertaken, it can be conclusively proved that much of the english law that we have today including the declaration on Human Rights can be traced back to Islamic Law. The first edict on Human Rights was issued by an Ottaman Turk Prince!- A Sunni Islam follower Mr Gautier for your kind information :)
