This thesis would focus on the regulations and religions to study the influence of the great kings in India, especially the Akbar the Great who led the Mughal Dynasty to prosperity and the Ashoka the Great who not only led the Maurya Dynasty to prosperity, but also promoted the Buddhism all over the world.
