This article introduces this special volume on the Mughal policy of sulh-i kull by situating the collection of articles in relation to broader developments across Eurasia. The Catholic inquisitors of Europe who defended nonsense by cruelty, might have been confounded by the example of a barbarian, who anticipated the lessons of philosophy and established by his laws a system of pure theism and perfect toleration...a singular conformity may be found between the religious laws of Zingis Khan and Mr. Locke. —Edward Gibbon, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire 1 In a word, the question is no longer whether Jesus was first crucified and then resurrected, but how it came to pass that so many humans today believe in the Crucifixion and Resurrection. —Marc Bloch, ‘The Idol of Origins’ 2
