무굴제국의 종교정책 연구

Abstract

This study is designed to analyze the religious tolerance and conflict of the Mughul empire. The Mughul Empire was founded in 1526 by Babur. In November 1525 Babur set out his historic march into India, and 1526 he reached the plain of Panipat on the northern part of Delhi. At present, the Muslim community in India is a minority group. Despite a small percentage of Indian population(11-12%), Muslims in India will remain as a public and people of India. However their public role as a body of Islamic doctrine, beliefs and rituals is bound to be restricted in India. India was fragmented from the time of Aryans' invasion. The fragmentation of India had continued till the beginning of 16th century. But this fragmentation came to an end with the rise of the Mughul empire. For the next two hundred years the Mughul Islamic power ruled the Hindu subcontinent. In order to analyze the Mughul's religious policy, this study will present the process of spreading Islam into India, the religious conditions of the early Mughul Empire, Mughul's Islamic tolerance with Hinduism, Awrangzeb's anti Hinduism policy, and the decline of Mughul Empire. The history of spreading Islam into India is very important to understand the history of Islamic Da'wah in Asia, especially in Central Asia, China, and India. In conclusion, the comparison of religious policies between Akbar, Awrangzeb and Dara Shikoh is presented to understand the relationship between Islam and Hinduism in India. The Islamic tolerance of Akbar strengthened the relations with Hiduism, but the anti Hinduism policy of Awrangzeb threatened the Mughul's destiny.
