Question

How did the Mughal court suggest that everyone received justice equally from the emperor?

Answer 1

Instructions:
There should be at least 3 points here. Start by explaining how the architecture in the Red Fort emphasised justice for all. Bring in the Pietra duras in this concept, and connect it to Orpheus’ ability to calm down predators by playing his lute. Finally, connect this to the King’s justice system.

Solution:
The construction of the royal court in Red Fort emphasised the connection between the imperial court and justice for all. Behind the emperor's throne there were Pietra duras which pictured Orpheus playing the lute. It was believed that Orpheus’ music would calm down deadly predators and enable everyone to reside in peace. This gave the impression that the King’s justice would treat the high and the low as equals.
