policy. However, by this time, the Mongols had been engaged in to an elaborate expansionist
policy. In this context, Morgan has observed that religious exorcism was not a part of their
domination policy. Instead, they strictly and vehemently followed the policy of religious
tolerance. They exempted the religious leaders of other beliefs from taxation and allowed
absolute freedom of the preaching of other religions like Buddhism, Manichaeism, Daoism
Nestorian Christianity or Islam. It is visible that Chengiz Khan, as well as his descendants,
employed people of the other religions like Buddhists as well as Muslims in their courts. In
support of the aforesaid, Juvaini, Ata-Malik, and Mizra Muhammad Qazvini inform that
Chengiz Khan himself had a group of personal advisors all of whom belonged other religions.
Many of the historians like Morgan has called this a delicate part of their imperial and
expansionist policy. However, as per the opinion of Sheila: 15, this is naturally evident in the
way of lives of the Mongolians. The Mongol leaders after the segregation of the Khanate
invited various religious leaders occasionally and asked them for inter-religious debates. At
the time when the capital city the Karakorum of the Mongols was built, Ogedai invited
multiple people of various religious beliefs for creating mosques, lamaseries, churches as
well as temples for the various worshippers.
At the primary period, the Mongolian empire extended from Pacific up to the
Mediterranean zone and then included multiple nations that were inclined to one predominant
religious trait. Historians say that the governance over this long stretch of land would have
been difficult without the policy of great tolerance. Morgan expresses that in the latter part of
the dynasty, the smaller Mongol rulers had also maintained the doctrine of freedom of
religion even though they changed their religious designations.
Economically, the Mongols were quite akin in China as well as in the Middle East. As in
China, in the Middle East also, the Mongolians encouraged the spread of trade as well as
intentionally discouraged agriculture. The Mongol leaders also discarded the tariff from all
policy. However, by this time, the Mongols had been engaged in to an elaborate expansionist
