Sulh-i-kul (absolute or universal peace) was a key principle of Akbar's governance, continued by Jahangir and Shahjahan. Akbar's interactions, including in the Ibadat Khana with scholars of different faiths, led him to realise that religious scholars who emphasised rituals and dogmas were often bigots. This realisation became the basis for his policy of Sulh-i-kul. Both statements are true and B explains A.
